CHAIRPERSON
Mr Jassat, yesterday when we adjourned, it was understood that you would be afforded an opportunity at half past nine this morning to be here.  We haven't had a word from you as to why you have shown this Committee the courtesy of an explanation as to why you were not here or to apologise for your non-attendance this morning.  It was arranged that you were going to be allowed to question witnesses at half past nine this morning and members of my Committee would like to know why.
