I am in the process of reviewing all aspects of the decision to award a licence to the individual in question. I have already received a preliminary report on this matter, and a full report is being prepared for me. I have referred this matter to the Attorney General for advice regarding the legal issues involved. In the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to make any further comment on this matter at this moment in time.
