Okay. Contrary to previous questions, this is provided for in a Government decision for Secretary Generals. Those Departments might help us and might help the internal inquiry by outlining the process by which the Secretary Generals of those Departments were seconded, as it were, into two different university sectors. The terms and conditions involved in doing this in a State-funded manner, which is what Mr. Watt attempted to do, perhaps blindsided one or the two of the organisations for which the funding was intended. However, the model is not new. In fact, it is provided for. Am I correct?
