I think it will be interesting. I think there may be a more nuanced view of QQ's role and it would be nice to have the precise detail of the genesis of that useful little phrase, which minister's and the MoD were so happy to have to fob off any critics, that the system was "tolerably safe". Odd no-one was prepared to accept until H-C came along that it was rubbish, including it has to be said some ppruners. That little phrase definitely wasnt in the first QQ report, which was pretty much a blanket condemnation without it. So who told them to put it there? Not that they should have agreed to, of course, but nevertheless.
