Mr Higgins, I am grateful for that. Could you address Mr Hockney's point of why we learn about these problems, which Sir Roy (McNulty) has referred to, in effect from The Idaho Statesman.

  • Question by: Brian Coleman
  • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
We understand that, Sir Roy, but Mr Neill has asked a specific question. I would be grateful if you could address it.
