Apologies, my mistake.

The lay versus law focus may have the effect of polarising the commission and that would not be helpful. We should steer away from that rather than going down that track. I certainly am of the opinion that unless the lay members who will make up this commission come from a broad range of society, we are not going to get the change that we would like.
