          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:42):</by>  I have a supplementary arising out of the minister's answer. Is the minister indicating that he is unaware or unable to explain what his role was in terms of the appointment of Ms Pitcher as chief executive of his department, even though a selection panel had recommended another person to be the chief executive?</text>
