I have another suggestion to make. Mr. Quigley said that he was not the registrar of the wards of court. We might write to the registrar and put some of these questions to them. I know they are not directly accountancy questions but nonetheless they are important process issues. Is there merit in a review of all of the above - the management of the fund, the performance of the fund, capturing the practices, the interaction, the role of families and the role of the person to whom the award is made? Would there be merit in doing that because I know that prior to the last foray by this committee into this area, there had been no real accountability for any of this for some 20 years so it has had a chequered history? Might it be an idea for such a review to take place? I do not know who might answer that.
