I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 98 together.

I have outlined in detail to the House on a number of occasions and most recently on 29 March 2006, the circumstances surrounding this unusual case. In view of the fact that the matter is sub judice and is in fact scheduled to come before the Courts on 29 May, I do not propose to comment any further on the case at this stage.
