One more to go

17:20 When will they report? Russell says he doesn't know.

17:19 Ian Stewart asks about Jones refusal to give data to Hughes. Was he consistent in refusing this? Russell confirms they will look at this. This is important because we know it was supplied to others.

17:17 Willis says peer review aspects have disturbed the committee.

17:14 Willis asks why scientific inquiry is not part of the Russell review. Why can't I understand Russell's responses? "It would be a completely different thing".

17:12 Stringer asks why no statistician and no sceptic scientists. Russell says they've had a submission from Mann. Russell says sceptic and statistician would not be consistent with his approach. I can believe that.

17:10 Have they learned anything from NAS panel on integrity in science. Yes.

17:08 Stringer asks if hearings in public. Russell says no, but will be published. Backs off a little and says maybe they could, but not persuaded of it.

17:07 Will panel take evidence in public and publish in full? Russell says evidence will be published. Will evidence in confidence be disclosed? Talks of "enthusiastic commentators" on the web! Does he mean me?

17:05 Russell says they dont' want to get in the way of ICO.

17:02 Boswell asks about UEA funding the review. I still don't understand the answer.

17:00 Harris asks if Russell wants to satisfy sceptics. I didn't understand his answer.

16:58 Is statistics covered? Russell says he'll see how they go. Says they've had lots of submissions.

16:56 Russell says he asked former colleagues. Need to replace Campbell.

16:55 Harris asks who chose the team and asks about Philip Campbell
