It's a topic that's hot right now but ultimately we are confident that when all the evidence is presented that we will prevail and be able to demonstrate that our procedure is and has been wholly constitutional.

I am under no illusion that the task ahead of us remains enormous but I take over the chair of the MRG with a passionate belief in the need for reform.
