Mr. Bernard Gloster:

They left of their own volition, absolutely. This issue came to light last Christmas. The only reason I became aware of it was a story in a newspaper in which the company involved claimed that it was the HSE's fault that it was heading into liquidation. Obviously, when I inquired into the matter, it was anything but the HSE's fault that it was heading into liquidation. This is why the loss is not recoverable.
