Dr. Cecil Beamish:

It may well be. I am saying we will look at those suggestions. We have to consider them before making any move. I think it was Deputy Pringle who raised the question of public opinion. The public often has a very strong interest in this and has a very clear view about whatever decision might be made about a licence and it may be challenged legally. People are entitled to do that. The process needs to be clean in terms of any arguments about being involved in pre and post and so on. It is an area in which there is a high level of interest group involvement in any decisions made. We do not want to get into a situation where the licensing is being done faster but the licences themselves have less of a possibility of withstanding challenge. That is not in the interest of the applicant, whatever licence decision is made.
