Dear Andrew Barrowclough,
Thank you for the reply.
From multiple witnesses, she did not state they could be used across all phases of emergency management. However, there is little benefit arguing the details further. It is important that officials represent matters fairly and accurately, and I trust this has been an important lesson.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Glassey
