CHAIRPERSON
I regret the delay there has been in starting this morning.  We had understood that when we adjourned this hearing, statements would be obtained from all potential witnesses and would be made available to the applicants and other interested parties, but unfortunately it has not been possible to do that, and statements were, summaries were prepared this morning, which have been made available.  It is obvious that the potentially most important witness, has not as yet, made a statement, although at the last hearing he indicated that he was prepared to come and give evidence, he is a witness whom I think we would wish to hear before arriving at a decision, subject of course to what anyone may say, but we can in the meantime proceed with the victims and witnesses who are here, and dispose of them.  I don't know whether it is proposed to continue questioning the applicant, to put to him the matters that arise from the two statements, summaries that have been given to us, to allow him to give his explanation in regard to that, before the evidence is led, or whether it is proposed he should be given the opportunity to give evidence after all the evidence has been led, to deal with such evidence.  What are your views?
