I propose that the letter be specific. I put it into the public record today because NAMA's evidence has been on the public record. We will write back to NAMA and ask it whether it agrees with the contents of each paragraph. Where it comes to a paragraph on which it disagrees, I want NAMA to explain where it disagrees because at the end of our work we will have this on the record and if we want to use this letter, we want to know what parts of it, if any, are contested, and we will adjudicate on that then at the end of the day.

I propose we send this letter to the Office of the Director-General of the National Crime Agency in London with which we were in contact in respect of inviting witnesses from Northern Ireland. The letter from Mr. Ray McComb to the committee stated that if the committee wishes to share any information it considers relevant to that agency's investigation, which it calls Operation Pumpless, into this issue, the director general's investigators would be keen to be furnished with it through the appropriate channels. In case they find something like that helpful to their investigation, I propose we send a copy of that PIMCO letter to the National Crime Agency as well. Can we conclude on this?
