What we are likely to see here then is what happens in the public administration system in this country where there is a major political crisis; there is an outcry in relation to how the country is run; people are fearful individuals are involved in the design of particular roles from which they will financially benefit; that we have an inversion of authority within a Department in which civil servants are making decisions independently and without oversight from Ministers; and where then, as a result of that outcry, we have reports that are written which come to conclusions which are then crumpled up and pegged in a wastepaper basket. Is that what is going to happen to this report?
