To short-circuit the matter perhaps it might be better for my Department to advise the clerk to the committee and let the clerk communicate with the members of the committee. We intend to hold at least one such seminar between now and the House rising as well as a further two or three between then and the end of the year.

In case I am interpreted as putting undue pressure on the independent panel when I said that I expect it to have completed its work by the summer recess, perhaps I should withdraw the remark. The panel will have its work done but it is the supervision of the integrity of the process that will go on.
