I am not going to presuppose any conclusions of the inquiry. It is taking place and even the Leader of the Opposition has said that we should let the inquiry play out and see what the findings are. Conclusions can be drawn then.

I can say only that the Prime Minister has asked that the inquiry be swift and I have no indications other than that.
