than expected. lie had taken up a post in the
University of Warwick.

the Inquiry would be deprived of Professor Atiyah's
knowledge and assistance. However, the Committee
was now well advanced in its work, and for this
reason he had decided, after consultation with the
Chairman, Mr. Justice Woodhouse, that it would not
be practicable to replace Professor Atiyah.
