It still remains the unknown unknown and that is all wrong because we cannot take control of our situation unless we know what has happened and how we got there.
On the question of commercial sensitivity, in the area of the health and safety for the population there are no holds barred. The freedom of information process can dig as deep and go wherever it wishes, as can the inquiries, but the establishment seems to be able to say "Shutters down, commercial sensitivity". That is absurd.
