Brendan Ryan (Labour)

As the Acting Chairman has an eloquent face I will not test his patience. Is there a record of any consultants who came to conclusions that were in opposition to the interests of the people employing them? I am not surprised that an independent study on behalf of the bloodstock industry came to the conclusion it did. I have not seen a study done for any organisation that did not conclude in its favour. We had a statistical study that showed that most people were against the smoking ban and we had another study that showed that most people were in favour of the ban. One of the studies was wrong, but they were carried out for different clients.
