Indeed, I heard its representative in the media this morning. It is not a case of it being omitted; it is just a loaves and fishes operation because we are so confined with the number of sessions we can have and the number of people we can realistically bring in. It is not just from the point of view of what is safe but equally because a finite number of people can answer questions in two hours.

It was merely occasioned by that. We may look to bring them in at a later date if possible, but we are constrained in the number of sessions we can hold and the number of people we can bring in. If we bring in ten different people to a session to answer questions, all ten will feel disappointed that they did not get to answer the questions that were asked. It is solely to avoid that scenario.
