Personally—I speak for myself here—the NDA is not something that should cause offence to members of Parliament. For the reasons we've just heard, I think it's risk-mitigating.
To the point that was raised earlier, that it's the government that would be liable and not taxpayers, yes, of course it would be taxpayers who would be liable. With great respect, that's not a strong argument. I think we have to think about this issue in broad terms and recognize our responsibility with to respect to the taxpayer.
There's a lot of movement that's happened here. We have something on the table that would allow us to see documents unredacted to understand more about the nature of these agreements. I'm not so sure how the signing of a non-disclosure agreement gets in the way of our parliamentary privilege. Others will have different views. Personally, I don't have a problem with that based on the risk mitigation that I just referenced.
