Again, I am very sympathetic tothe problem that the hon. Gentleman describes. We understand the issue; the question is whether it is the right amendment. Has the hon. Gentleman taken advice from people whom he can trust to do a good job to find out whether there is any scope in serving a court order, such as the order of mandamus, on the disciplinary tribunal to speed things up? Long delays in investigations is a regular problem.
