In the article that you wrote dated February 7, 2023, you observed a couple of things that I'm going to touch on. The first would be the following:

I worked with several ministers who were highly skeptical of public service advice and insisted on running the issue by an outside firm with a big reputation before taking a decision. During spending reviews, ministers reflexively turn to outside advisers....

Can you share with us, perhaps, any advice that you would have given to those ministers or any concerns that you would have had about that view of the public service?
