That sounds quite plausible and reasonable. If Sir Swinton Thomas, who is in charge, were to come and make that case, and if he believed that the intelligence agencies thought that that was a possibility and could be done without compromising sources and techniques, I might be prepared to consider it. But, as I say, if the man the country has appointed to look specifically at the issue—never mind the other authorities who have been quoted time upon time—says that in his view the disclosure that is sought would be untold damage, especially to law enforcement and intelligence, and would substantially increase the risk to us all, we would be very unwise and very rash to ignore that advice.
