Who was responsible for this area and the running of the shoot there?  Was it sublet and if so to whom?  What actions have the estate taken to ensure there's no repetition?  If under their direct control, was anyone sacked or disciplined following the offence?  If sublet has the contract been cancelled? Above all, the question whether normal police procedures were followed must be raised and if not why not?  Similarly, we need to know how and why it has taken so long for this episode to reach the public domain and why it needed a lot of prodding for it to happen.</p></blockquote><p></p>
