MR REDPATH
Mr Chairman, my response with regard to this witness' evidence is the same as the previous responses, however, our investigations to date have produced some documents which are relevant to the Committee's investigation.
 I have here a copy of the post-mortem report, compiled by Dr Basil Wingreen on the 15th of November 1985.  The death register number is 779/85.
 A glance at this report would answer the one question posed by Committee member Crichton that the deceased was 1,26m tall, which makes him under five feet and he weight approximately 40 pounds.
 I would hand that document in to the Committee.  In regard to the issue as to whether there was any official legal inquiry into the death of the deceased, our enquiries to date showed that there was indeed an inquest.
 I would stress at this stage, in view of some of the questions posed by members of the Committee to the previous witness, that an enquiry by way of inquest can take one of two forms.  It can either be a formal inquest where witnesses are called to testify under oath in public and are subject to cross-examination from anyone who has an interest in the proceedings, or it could be informal.  In which event after the police investigation the documents are simply submitted to the Magistrate concerned of the area where the deceased died and he would behind closed doors, hold an informal inquest which amounts to him reading the document.  However, it is usual in a case such as this that the Magistrate would at least request members of the family to be present.
 I have photocopies of the relevant page excerpt of the police register which shows that there was an inquest held, it doesn't specify whether it was formal or informal, but we are continuing to investigate.
 Once again, I must reaffirm our commitment to be of assistance to the Committee and not to be obstructive to the Committee.  That is not the purpose of our request to allow us to present our case after proper investigation from our side in all the instances in which I appear.
 I have nothing further Mr Chairperson.
