Mr. Joe Hamill:
I reiterate that the document launched in November was a framework one and was not meant to be definitive or to cover all the angles. Part of what was wanted at the time was to get some sort of a more structured debate going around how this should look and how it should be developed. Proposals have been put forward that cover all of the groupings the Vice Chairman mentioned. There have been some contacts around, as he is probably aware, and there has been some media interest in, for example, the children who died over that period.
