I have now given and requested that the police be given more time to carry out investigations. I think what hon. Members are requesting is to speed up the investigations. Depending on the co-operation of other agencies, we could bring the investigations to conclusion much earlier. So, I am not reluctant and I am not hiding anything. We are willing to assist the family of this gentleman, who has several children. His family has been very anxious about his whereabouts up to today."}
