‘Whilst it might not have been a sensible practice to spend government money that you don't actually have, it was a system that worked extraordinarily well, and then looking at the history there didn't appear to be any prior situations where people might have either attempted to, or self-harmed themselves on that. I recall your Honour asking me a question during my evidence, did I wake up one morning and dream this up; I certainly did not. Had the chief executive at the time, Mr Severin not raised it with me, I wouldn't have touched it because it worked.’
In that passage Mr Oxford is referring to not wanting to move away from the constant observation system to the camera observation system.
