Minister Ross,
As already stated sir, the Aurors office and Department of Investigations would be more appropriate attendees, as you say, due to the international nature of the incident. There is no evidence as of yet that any English law has been broken and therefore investigation would seem appropriate before the involvement of any member of the DMLE, beyond the Aurors office and Department of Investigations. To do otherwise would appear as a rush to judgement. when, or if, there is evidence of a crime then a specific member of the DMLE will be happy to get involved on the ground.
The launch of an independent domestic commission to review the output of any investigation is the standard practice under the circumstances. There will likely be questions asked as to what the ministry is seeking to hide from public scrutiny if we fail to commission a public reporting on the cause of the incident -especially if we seek to get involved at this early stage of investigations. Better to publish a report of a sad accident, than to be perceived as hiding the truth for whatever reason. You will well understand how insinuation, speculation, and conspiracy can emanate from perceived inaction and the perception of avoidance of public accountability.
I respect that you may hold a different view, but if the decision is to not hold a public commission, I would have to register my opposition in the strongest possible terms. I feel that not doing so would damage not only your administration's public perception but also the wider reputation of the ministry as somehow trying to avoid public scrutiny and accountability.
Regards.
