I have often heard it said that if we applied the same rules to medicine as we apply to aviation, fewer people would die in operating theatres and the like. Aviation has a track record of being regulated and of being totally and utterly committed to rules, regulations and cross-checking that is second to none. That is the first point I want to make.

Captain Brereton dealt with the peer support group a few moments ago. It is no secret that I spent quite a number of years of my life in the trade union business and I would never have advised a member of my union to go to a peer support group that was appointed by management. At that stage, one is not going to peer support. Who is putting the pressure on to maintain a peer support group that is controlled by management? Do our guests know the answer to that? It is okay if they do not. Have they any ideas in that regard?
