To finish this matter from my perspective, the reason I asked the question about the media reports when it came to a spike in share activity was to find out if there was an active level of consideration about all of the events that had affected Siteserv dating back to 2011 and 2012. This was an entity for which the Department was responsible. The response that the Department did not even lift the telephone to check to see if a preliminary investigation was ongoing in any respect when it came to the alleged share activity bothers me. It suggests a level of inertia when it comes to looking at this issue that continues, which worries me.
