Subject: Fwd: Statement and handling plan

Attachments: handling plan (2).docx; ATTO0001.htm; Sparrow press notice 2.docx; ATTO0002.htm

All
I attach my comments and changes on the press notice and handling plan.
Questions:

- is the handling plan for circulation to the Board? If so while I would have Brunswick in my back pocket I
would never cite external media advice ahead of our own views: I feel v strongly that while their support is
helpful, no-one has better sense of this than our team

- Lalso disagree that the select committee is not a consideration: this is a bit complacent. As JA will be pushing
them at every opportunity, and as they can generate more publicity than SS, it must be a serious consideration.
So I have changed the wording on that

- Ihave added various elements to the statement and also changed the handling plan as I do think our report is v
important to this. After we go with this statement and handling, this is over in terms of wider comment; from
that moment on we hold the line and being able to refer back to the report is critical: it is THE report on this
process - further mediations are individual issues.

- I think we should write to the select committee on this rather than ring the chair.
Happy to discuss. I cannot make the call today at 4 but happy to speak outside of that.
Please shout if anyone disagrees with any of this.
