I'm grateful. I understand the point he's making, and I understand the point that Lee Waters was also making, but the problem I think for us as an Assembly coming together is that the Bowen inquiry, as I understand it, still has no agreed terms of reference. It certainly has no timetable that we understand, and it layers another perspective on top of the perspective of this report, and therefore it will be increasingly difficult to understand the point that he's been making, whether there was an authorised sharing of information in advance. That will be lost if we just put it into another inquiry, which we still don't understand the purpose of.
