'.......I know the board of inquiry has put back its findings on two separate occasions because that has been confirmed by the MoD. I can say when it happened but I cannot of course say why......'
Do you/MoD mean that the board has put back its findings, or that the publication date of the report has been put back. The two things are very different. After the 3-4 man board has finished its report it goes into the senior officer/politician/MoD lawyer loop - which, considering the high profile nature of this report, may (and I say may) be where the delays have occurred.
Just because the publication of the report has been delayed at least twice it does not automatically mean the board has been reconsidering it's findings!
