I had asked particularly in relation to the Pitchford inquiry. We know that at least four undercover British police officers were operating in this State. It seems that all of them commenced or had intimate relationships with women during that time. We know that the Metropolitan Police in Britain has apologised for that to people like Sarah Hampton and other victims. We know that the Pitchford inquiry has been set up to look into this, that other States including Scotland, the North and Germany have requested the inquiry be extended to include their own countries and that the Minister was to raise these points with the Secretary of State. What points did the Minister raise with the Secretary of State and what response did he get in relation to this very serious matter?
