Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. The minister stated in this place yesterday that the CRC’s application for continued funding was not of a high enough quality to earn continued funding. Can the minister then explain how the CRC received a letter to this effect whilst, in the same post on the same day, it was congratulated by the CRC review committee chairman for its excellent intellectual property policies and effectiveness? Will the minister now call the advice of his review committee into question and have it independently assessed?
