I will read it out again: 'We received formal, written confirmation from the secretary of the Attorney-General's department on 4 June 2015 2:43 pm.' That is after question time has begun. Question time starts at 2—2:43. Catherine Jones sent an email to the committee at 2:55 pm. After question time—that is 14 minutes later—at 3:09 pm I corrected the record. I had no earlier opportunity to correct the record, as I was in France until 4 June.
