The answer

Answered by Malcolm Chisholm on 9 Oct 2003 · 13 days after it was lodged, on time

We do not intend to initiatean inquiry. The available evidence does not suggest that those involved at the timeacted wrongly in the light of the facts that were available to them.
We have indicated that we arewilling to consider any new evidence which emerged.
