Everybody here and I would say any right-minded person would obviously want to see justice prevail for the individuals involved. That said, as a committee, whether we like it, there are limitations to what we can do. That is the reality. There is also the wider question of how to prevent this from happening again and what regulatory changes are required to ensure it can never happen to anybody again, whether in the field of aviation, education or anywhere else. These considerations must be decided by the committee and the appearance of the delegates has brought it back onto the agenda and we will pursue it. As I stated, we will forward the transcript to the IAA to seek a response and will revert to the delegates in due course. We will meet again next week to discuss other aspects arising from this discussion.
