The Deputy has to understand that we were trying to establish the facts. We were almost in shock that the story had changed that Thursday, such was the extent of the questioning, especially the previous day at the Wednesday meeting. I simply could not understand so I was going back, asking whether she was certain and explaining that I could not understand this because only the day before she had said "under no circumstances" and "in future". I could not understand that, so there was a lot of not understanding how everything could have changed and then I had to decide how best to approach it.
