I thank the Minister for his response. I do not for a minute doubt his sincerity in respect of this particular issue. I have some brief questions. Why, after all these years, has the British Government refused to hand over the files that would provide some clarity on this issue? In the Minister's opinion, what is the reason behind that? Can we apply any new pressure, internationally or otherwise, to force the British Government to release the files? I am sure the Minister will agree that 44 years is a long time to be waiting on justice. Every avenue which can be explored should be explored.
