Does Mr. Watt accept that we need to resolve it and to establish whether or not there were people who would have qualified had they applied under the scheme or had appealed, that their appeal would have been upheld but, because they did not, they simply accepted the judgment of the HSE, which was that they did not qualify. They, therefore, did not make any application. It would be unfair if that did happen.

Mr. Watt is saying that a trawl is being done. Is that trawl being done to identify a cohort of residents would have a similar claim to those 512 residents in those three houses?
