Agreed. Importantly, because the SI report was not released until after the Inquest, the court only heard MoD's highly edited version of events. His words were unwise, and he should have at least added balance by pointing out MoD's offences, but he was serially misled. It looks like this issue of quality of design is what has been dropped by the HSE after discussions 'narrowed the issues' (i.e. being allowed to present independent evidence for the first time).

But I'd still have liked to have heard the head of Tech Pubs tear into the claim MB didn't send out the bulletin in 1990. He's been waiting since 27 October for the solicitors to take evidence. Having tracked him down, but gone no further, this was the indication something was going on.
