I understand the context. Within the Department's processes, would what subsequently emerged in the Mason report not have been clear? It raised serious issues. It mentions a number of options and recommends one. It talks about a lack of transparency with prices and lack of openness and makes very specific recommendations. Were they not all obvious back in 2016?
