There was a seven-year gap between the issue first coming to the attention of the NSSO by way of that particular appeal and somebody deciding in the NSSO that this is a bigger issue that warrants further investigation. Now, we are where we are and there are potentially, at the upper end, 13,000 retired civil and public servants and, potentially, officeholders who are affected by this. Who is going to take responsibility for this in the NSSO? I accept it is not necessarily an issue for the Minister.
