Mr. Paul Reid:

No, there is not such a danger. There is a danger that it might be said and might be perceived as the reality. It is not the reality. We have, on average, some 50 protected disclosures per year. Last year, the number was 60 or 65. Those disclosures are published every year and what the Deputy outlined is not, nor should it be, the experience to date.
