I think the review would be primarily of the job the ombudsman was doing. If there were flaws in the system he would have to accept responsibility, and there would have to be another study to decide how it would go. The committee was so strong an alternative to the ombudsman because they said that veterans had had enough. By that time they'd waited 30 years for pensions, and widows had waited 30 years for pensions. So the system is not perfect, but it was the way the committee felt we should go. Once the door opened, the committee felt very keenly that this was well worth considering.
