Mr. Adrian Tennant:

I appreciate the opportunity. The Chairman is quite right that we, in speaking on behalf of our membership, have heard what he referred to a lot. What he is saying reflects exactly the mood of the organisation. Owing to the nature of the inquiry and the level of the people involved, the organisation has received very clear legal advice regarding the rights of those subject to the inquiry and on organisational needs. The national management committee and the sub-committee have worked painstakingly on ensuring these rights have been observed and on ensuring a fair process. Doing that ensures the integrity of the process. That takes time. It is quite frustrating for ordinary members, those directly involved and us, as those charged with leading the organisation, that it is taking so much time but, because of its very nature, the painstaking approach of ensuring the integrity of the process is sacrosanct has taken time. It is progressing.
