My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's previous answer. Is the Prime Minister saying that the following words were not said by the president of the NFF on Sky News in an interview with David Speirs. Ms Simson, president of the NFF, said:

Do the deal today and do what it takes to get the deal done. If 13 is the rate that is going to fly today, well, look, you know, we don't want to leave here with 32½. But I need to be consistent in this, and we've always called for 15—

Speirs interrupted:

Yeah, yeah, but if it needs to be 13, just do it.

Simson, president of the NFF:

Do the deal. Do a deal.

Is the Prime Minister saying that did not happen?
