The Office can confirm that Tiggy has acknowledged receipt of Emmeline’s letter of resignation and has retired to consider the matter personally. The resignation has not been accepted at this stage.

Pending the outcome of Tiggy’s deliberations, voting operations on Platform 5 have been temporarily suspended and Buzz (Senior Human Behaviour Analyst) and Toffee (Junior Data Acquisition Officer) have been deployed to assist with the peaceful management of demonstrations on Platform 6.

A further statement will be issued in due course.
