MS WILD COMMITTEE
Yes, thank you, Mr Chairman, Members of the Committee.  The position with regard to Ms Hudson and her sister is as follows:  They do not oppose the granting of amnesty, nor do they as such consent to it,
because that obviously falls within the prerogative of the Committee.  
	Their view is that they, well particularly Ms Jessie Hudson came to oppose this matter on the basis that on the face of it she was not satisfied that the statement simply on a piece of paper, that there was a political objective and she also wished to satisfy herself concerning the sincerity of the applicants and their way of being and she has satisfied herself about that, which is why she has been prepared, having heard them and listened to them, to in fact forgive them on the basis that they are being sincere, that they've come here in a genuine attempt to reconcile with the families of the victims.  
	So on that basis then, the application for amnesty is not opposed and having been satisfied with the sincerity of the applicants, as I've said, Ms Hudson has not difficulty, well she has difficulty, but she has no wish to withhold forgiveness from them, she wishes to forgive them, thank you.
