I will move on to one aspect of this that I cannot fully understand. I raised it at our last meeting. If the meeting of the Policing Authority took place on 27 April, how did it take until 8 May for a request that this unsatisfactory report be commented on? Dr. Singh said to me, when I asked him about this, that he tried to get the report. I am totally confused as to how something can be given to the Policing Authority at a meeting at which the witnesses were present and it takes from 27 April until 8 May for a copy of it to be made available. Do the witnesses have any indication as to why they were not furnished, on the day of 27 April or on any immediate subsequent day, with the full report?
