Mr. Robert Watt:
This was drafted in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We had a lot of discussion within our Department and across the Civil Service and then it went out to consultation. We had a consultation process in which we invited people to give their views on whether the standard was adequate and sufficient and whether we were covering all the different items that ought to be included.
