Absolutely. The information should be brought to light. However, it is important that the members of the public accounts committee are aware that on 15 July, a detailed report on planning came in to the university, to the director of buildings and estates, flagging all the concerns about this transaction in terms of intensification of use and change of use. The director of buildings and estates was engaging directly with the chief commercial officer. The day before this came to the executive chairperson, they were still flagging concerns but this was not brought to the attention of the decision-makers. That has been flagged in the various reports
