May I continue without interruption, please? It would be absurd if the committee were to refuse to provide Sergeant McCabe with a transcript. I am happy to have Ms Mellissa English come before us next week to give the committee advice. However, the idea that we could bury this by refusing to release the transcript is unthinkable. There is great interest in what is in the transcript. The reason we held the meeting in private was in case something irresponsible was said or allegations were made against individuals. No such allegations were made and once that reason has been dispensed with, there is no reason not to make and release a transcript.
