Ms Suzanne Campion:

The restructuring of responsibilities has changed that. Bearing in mind the context in which the uninsured vehicles issue arose, it was at a time when IFI was designated as – I cannot think of the word – an organisation that was allowed to work but, for the health and safety of our staff, they had to be in individual vehicles. We had lots vehicles coming on and off hire. Yes, we still have the same complement of staff operating that but, ultimately, we are very sorry that it happened at all and have taken steps to ensure it will not happen again.
