Mr. Simon O'Brien:

On the issue of the night-time sweep, it really was just about us undertaking a surveillance sweep within our building without our staff knowing about it and with far greater access to parts of the building without being obliged to cause disruption to staff members.

In terms of the third threat, I have not said that. In the security company's expert opinion, it would state it was a device that was only available to Government agencies. I do not have the level of expert advice to know if that is right or wrong. I have some knowledge of this type of kit and suspect it probably could be switched from the UK to others. As I have stated previously, I do not have a UK mobile phone, but we had UK operatives who were operating in our building at the time.
