Be reasonable about this. It is very clear to all of us that the group has not been compliant. It is also clear, from what Professor Whelan is saying - and we welcome hearing it - that the group wishes to be compliant. I want Professor Whelan to accept now that the group was not in compliance with Government policy. It has made the information available now, and we will agree to differ on the group's motives if that makes it more comfortable for the witnesses. However, I ask the professor to accept that the group is still not fully compliant, but is going to move into full compliance.
