If I could deal with the two matters that you raised—they were not questions; I think they were statements that you were making—I reject them at the outset. It is late in the evening, whichever way you want to look at it, but on the substantive question that is being asked the issue of award modernisation is contained within the minister’s direction, which is available, which I am sure you have read and which I am sure that you have gone through with a fine tooth comb—as you would. You probably already know the answer that I have already given to that question. The adviser is looking for the request itself. We can certainly make it available. It is on the public record, as I understand it.
