That is a version. The Secretary General has informed us that he was solely looking at the date in question. He did not establish when the alcohol was purchased, why it was purchased or anything like that. I suggest that the alcohol was purchased specifically for the event on the night. That is what I am trying to establish. Is the Secretary General of the Department allowing gifts like this to be handed out willy-nilly without any records being kept as to whom they are given to and what perceived preferential treatment is being given? I find that bizarre. Mr. Hackett is saying that no records are kept of any gifts like this being handed out by the Secretary General.
