Mr. Peter Evans:

Yes, we were one of the organisations that submitted concerns to the Department, going back to 2014. We have had a number of correspondences with the Department in respect of the operation and governance of the MANs. We welcomed the Minister's announcement yesterday and the publication of the Analysys Mason report. While it was only published yesterday, in the limited time we have had to study it, we have seen that it addresses some of the concerns we raised back in 2014 and which we have continued to raise since then.
