Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

He has had clear medical advice from his consultant. I have spoken to him about this. I do not want to go into personal things. I am happy to do that privately but he has had very significant and very clear medical advice about stress being an important issue as far as his medical condition is concerned. I do not hesitate to believe him because it is not a new thing. He is, however, very apologetic. He would like to come before a committee - he has said that - but he has had really clear medical advice. I was supportive of him in following that medical advice.
