I agree with the Chairman. First, it is a serious letter from a committed person setting out issues about accountability and money. Clearly, we cannot invite everybody to appear before the committee. I agree with the Chair in that regard, but we have to decide how we will put this matter in context. Therefore, we should not say yes now, but we should certainly come back and look at the letter to see how we will deal with it. I am in favour of him coming, but I see the dilemma. There were different groups yesterday and so on. This matter has to stay on the agenda and we need to come back to it to discuss it and give it proper thought. He has gone to some trouble and, if we are about governance, certainly there are serious issues. That is my tuppence ha'penny worth for the moment.
