Text
This is such an important and difficult issue to deal with. The Chair of the Committee indicated to you — everyone in the House will acknowledge — that TEO has engaged extensively with a wide range of groups. However, there seems to be some obfuscation around why you did not engage on, or how you came to a decision on, the date of 29 September. How did you come to the decision about that date? How did you do that? Did you do it on your own, or can you genuinely point us to who you consulted with in order to get to that date?
