Is that not dismissive of what they are saying? They are putting forward hard hitting statements and the Minister is suggesting they are doing that as a negotiating tactic. I doubt very much that professionals in the Revenue, the Comptroller and Auditor General's office and the appeals commissioners office would adopt such an approach. They have gone through this in detail.
If what they are saying comes to pass, it would be very serious.
