I want to move on to ask about the remuneration and development subcommittee, headed by Ms Doherty. According to the records, that subcommittee met 16 times between 2012 and 2016. It met six times between 2017 and 2021 but it did not meet at all in 2020. Again, according to the records, other permanent subcommittees met regularly in 2020 and 2021. The significant issues that we are talking about here today would have been under the purview of this particular committee, including the so-called balloon payment at the end of a contract. Why was this so? Who causes this committee to meet?
