Chairman:
I am going to have to bring this part of the meeting to a close. On behalf of the committee, I sincerely thank our guests for taking the time to come here this morning. It was a robust and challenging session but that is simply a sign of the regard we have for and the importance we attach to the work they are doing. We are keen to support this work and to challenge it at every opportunity in order to ensure that everything that can be done is being done. I thank our guests for their co-operation. This is a beginning, not an end. We will see them again, I hope, on 26 October, subject to the committee's approval and their availability. We will continue from there and I hope to see them before the committee again. Finally, I hope that we have more positive and brighter days ahead.
