At the previous meeting I proposed that we hear from the pilots first, but that was not possible. Deputy Mick Barry is correct that the delegates have been waiting for four hours. That implies a certain urgency in giving them a hearing, but it was important, given the detailed information the delegates would give to us, that we be able to put it to the supervisory regulator. It was a good structure and process, but we have not had sight of the information or a summary of the points the delegates want to make and have not had time to study them. To be honest, it would be chaotic to continue. I propose that we postpone the discussion until such time as we receive a summary in order to give everybody fair play and allow us time to look at the documents.
