I propose to take Questions Nos. 208, 209 and 237 together.

The Victims Committee has been advised that an external and independent examination of their submission is to be carried out by an eminent legal person. The arrangements for this examination are the subject of ongoing communication with the Committee's solicitor and will hopefully be agreed in the short term.

The Deputies will also be aware that further assistance is being provided with respect to the identification of the five unidentified victims and that every effort is being made to facilitate the families concerned during this process.
