I take that point and I understand that it is always possible for someone to use information that they should not use, or whatever, and they do not necessarily have to be someone to whom the one-year period applies. It could be that someone has been there three years and still has that influence. I go back to the point that I do not think there is an absolute relevance in that and hope that the chief executive would have the discretion and sense to ensure that anyone who has to deal with political issues has the experience to carry out that role.
