Yes, I always have a question for him. On the de Silva report possibly becoming a book of evidence, if necessary, given that people have died and others' minds are gone, such a parliamentary inquiry would only need to call a small number of individuals. If necessary, it could be more definitive. That is the point I wish to make.

To tie in the issue of a parliamentary inquiry in Britain with the proposed constitutional amendment, as parliamentarians, we want to find cheaper and more effective ways of conducting investigations. We all support the idea of parliamentary investigations and irrespective of the result of tomorrow's referendum, this issue will not go away. I suggest, therefore, that it is a suitable matter for a debate.
