David Smith: I do not think we have considered it in such fine detail. Certainly, the fine detail of the inquisitorial rather than the adversarial approach will need to be sorted out. I believe there are some amendments down to consider allowing a single barrister within each IPC. It is difficult for us to say. If you can go through and have people who are professional—and you need a networked person on the IPC—who understand the issues, and are able to sit there and have a discussion rather than a legalistic bouncing backwards and forwards in an adversarial role, that seems to us to be more appropriate.
