I thank Mr. Allamby. I would like to note that Ms Emily Logan was invited, but unfortunately was not able to be here in person. She has sent us quite a lengthy piece of correspondence which has been distributed to members and will be included in the record and the work of the committee going forward.

I propose to take the witnesses' statements together. I will then open the debate up to comments, questions and points from the committee members. I will bring the witnesses back in to reply. I ask Professor Harvey to make his statement.
