Mr. Martin Fraser:

If it is of any assistance I could change the first sentence of my letter to state I had a number of confidential conversations about his future plans including in August last year. I would point out the sentence the Deputy is quoting back to me states that he indicated he was stepping down from his current role and was considering a possible role in the university sector. This is more specific and it happened in February. This is what I was speaking about when I rang the Secretary General.
