'But so I think one of the things that almost went wrong with the report, and I only corrected it right at the end, ... is the view I obtained from Gordan did not highlight the fact that really X had assumed responsibility for their own IT. Now that was highlighted by certain other individuals in GIS so the report did a last minute swerve and ended up I think moreorless accurate. ... if I had written a report that the City of London was not happy with ... , and this is hindsight speaking, largely, the report would have been a waste of time. But I have to have Jenny and Neville happy with it, so it had to be nasty about GIS or at least indicate that mistakes had been made.X075 page 001.05 (tape 01.1.05) Colin Notes/Tape 17/02/95Now I think, I'm prepared to be told I'm wrong, I think in the end, by accident to a degree, and right at the end, I think the report itself struck the right balance in that everybody agreed with it, with some reluctance in certain quarters, but everybody agreed. So we did not have to spend time arguing about the report, we then said, ok chaps, well done, what happens now? And I think after that George used it as a reason not to continue to place as much reliance on GIS as he had done, which I think ... is reasonable on his part.'
