Yes, but I am referring to the benefit of hindsight. We have heard the defence regarding the ex gratia payments that were made. Is Mr. Scott satisfied that, if the process had been entered into in the way we would have liked, his Department would have approved that ex gratia payment and does he accept the rationale for having made them?
