He was fourteen years old. The Watchdog Committee was now bypassing the whole elaborate management structure of the Church. 2 Gulliver's job was to enforce Watchdog Committee orders. They had had months of training, and years of on the job experience. Gulliver had neither.
Policy is very elaborate, but hinges on certain basic ideas.
Among these are the supposed right to question an order, and the right to demand that an order be put in writing. Again the staff member theoretically has a right to demand a Committee of Evidence prior to assignment of the RPF, which is reasonable as an RPF can take anything up to two years to complete. These rights were all denied. Gulliver said that all of the U.K. Organizations were losing money. He also said that the majority of the money they did make was sent to the U.S., so periodically the Watchdog Committee would have to pay even the lighting and heating bills, following a complex Purchase Order system.
