Sorry, there was another call. There was a call with the Secretary General at approximately 6.45 p.m. At this stage he rang the chair to say I had made the decision to issue the letter and to seek a meeting the following morning. He reminded her that I was in a prearranged interview with "Prime Time". She would have been aware of that from the day before. He indicated to the chair that if I were asked, it was not a thing I could conceal, if I had been given the wrong information. The chair stated she was not happy at the idea of being called to another meeting that week, because she had been at a few meetings. We were offering virtual as well as in person, but the chair said at that stage she was unhappy at the idea of another meeting.
