I will make just a small point that is not about the individual, but about the process. I intervened on John Scott because I was a bit concerned about the apparent lack of consultation with our representatives on the Standards and Public Appointments Committee. They deal with the commissioner and must have the utmost confidence in him. John Scott referred to informal consultation. I asked him what the result of that consultation was. It would help if he would tell us that now.
