I suppose the particular point we were making there was that in the U.K. we don't have that kind of transparency. We looked at, say, the situation in Australia, where they're publishing annual reports by the federal witness protection program. It was basically having access to that kind of information that we felt was vital in order to secure the legitimacy and credibility of these programs--that there was information in the public domain about how these programs were operating, how much was being spent, how many witnesses were involved, and what kinds of cases they were participating in.
In our study, we were unable to look in detail at what happened in other European countries, so one would have to return to their legislation to see under law what they're required to report about their protection programs. Certainly we feel that the U.K. is a long way behind the Canadian and Australian situations, in that there is very little information in the public domain about witness protection.
