Mr. Watt has probably passed seven years as Secretary General between the two Departments. If there was a decision not to extend the term and he was nowhere near his 40 years of service, we could anticipate a similar arrangement could be entered into, given the Government has approved this process in 2011 and 2021, so his particular expertise and experience would not be lost to the public service.
