I thank the witnesses for their presentation.
At the outset I want to ask about the repayment scheme. I must say that we are at something of a disadvantage here in not having some of the relevant documents. I understood that we had requested those, for example, the memos.
It would also be helpful if we had some detail on the public documentation associated with the repayment scheme in 2004. It is hard to know why the final outcome of the repayment scheme was so low given the fact there was illegal overcharging going back over so many years. It would be helpful to know what the constraints were on people making claims under that scheme. If there is documentation on that it would be helpful.
