There have been a number of examples where a Secretary General has investigated what has happened in his or her Department. Obviously, in the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary General investigated what happened with the Zappone affair. On this occasion, Robert Watt carried out the initial investigation into the actions he was involved in. Does Mr. Fraser believe that practice where Secretaries General investigate what happens in their Departments needs to come to an end? Does he believe that people investigating themselves is a good idea?
