We now have a continuous criminal investigation in to the Mari naval base blast on July 11th; we now have another ‘committee’ under Polys Polyviou probing information to apportion responsibility; we've already a similar probe from the House Defence Committee (no jokes please) - and now we are told that Parliament has appointed an Ad Hoc committee to “monitor the investigation process”.I bet are going to monitoring both investigations very closely: in particular those members with the committee who also serve or served on the House Defence Committee whenever following the Monchegorsk’s cargo was confiscated in 2009.
It seems to me quite extraordinary which our MPs have seen fit to appoint to the present committee none other than the current and previous chairmen of your home Defence Committee, as well as two members of the previous Defence Committee as ‘reserve’ members! These, surely, as members of the Defence Committee back then, would be the MPs who were comfortable with the decisions being taken regarding the confiscated munitions - yet they didn't do anything.
Their role in the whole affair, one could hope, can also be susceptible to investigation, but I’m quite sure no-one would desire suggesting a conflict of interests.
