I would rather that you write not to Mr Golden but to the committee so that the committee can understand the answer. We will ensure that he gets a copy.

I know—you were following my lead. I was entirely wrong, Mr Doris, which I have already accepted. Thank you for pointing it out again.

No. With the greatest respect, I have chided Mr Simpson for his comments, and I do not think that it is up to you to chide him again. I have done it once, so please do not do it again. I am happy for officials to pass you information—that is why they are sitting at the table with you. I have made that entirely clear. I do not think that it is worth continually pushing on that, so I ask you to sum up without further chiding.
