I want to be straight with our guests. My concern, and I believe it is one shared by other members of the committee, is that there was a deliberate attempt to exclude the analysis section of the working group in the lead up to the meeting with the Policing Authority in April 2017. I also have a concern that there was a deliberate attempt to push through the report that was referred to at the meeting of the Policing Authority in April 2017 in the hope that this would be a line drawn in the sand under the homicide review. At its worst, I have a concern that there was an attempt to hoodwink the Policing Authority at the meeting of April 2017. I wish to ask Dr. Singh two questions in respect of this. We know from what he has said that there were two analysts on the working group. What did they say to him in respect of their response to the fact that this report was being produced without them being involved in it?
