What we heard this morning will shake the confidence of many people in two sectors which the witnesses' organisations have responsibility for regulating, namely, approved housing bodies and separately, charities. The reports both organisations carried out are incredibly thorough but I want to bring them back to when they first became aware of the issues. I will start with Ms Delaney because I think the engagement during the summer was extensive. There was a lot of correspondence back and forth between the Charities Regulator, the Peter McVerry Trust and its board between July and September. When was the Charities Regulator first made aware and how?
