I agree with the course of action. Is there merit in us making contact with the commission of inquiry and asking whether it has requested the report and placed restrictions on circulating it to this committee? I entirely agree other Deputies that what we have heard today is a diversionary tactic. I also agree that we need to find ways to corroborate information that is given to us. I am thinking out loud. I agree with the course of action that the Chairman has described. In addition, is there merit with us making direct contact with the commission and asking whether it has placed an impediment?

I cannot see why they would, given the nature of the report. The only problem is that it might delay things.
