It would help if the group could give us correspondence on what information it requested and what was refused, and what the group would like to have and what sections of the new legislation the group fears might be used to prevent it getting that information. As my colleagues have said, that is what we are here to do, to go through the legislation line by line and see if we can help by inserting sections. I know this all goes back to individuals but this is the key.

To take up the point made with Deputy McDonald on the deaths, perhaps they went to another country. We have compulsory registration of deaths. Can we hear more about the people who have disappeared? Does the group think they are dead or does it know they are dead?
