I have made this very clear. I have been very clear that if it is possible to answer those questions, I will get those answers. My advice is that if at the request of one of the parties to the tribunal we answer some of those questions and they are central to the work of the tribunal, it could invalidate the tribunal. The other parties would then be in a position to go to court and effectively stop the work of the tribunal because it would have been seen as unfair. I absolutely take the point that if we can put information into circulation that answers these questions, we should do it. I will certainly endeavour to do that. That is what I am currently investigating, but I am not in a position to answer them tonight.
