I have two questions that I wish to return to and one of them was not answered. Has the tobacco industry been implicated in any illegal tobacco trade? I wish to refer again to the KPMG report and the latest evidence from Australia. Earlier I asked for the organisations to comment on the report but I also asked if they knew who paid for the report. Since I asked my question I have received a note stating that it was paid for by a tobacco company called Phillip Morris. That is important information and I wanted to put it on the record. I ask the witnesses to address my two questions.
