I heard the following many years ago from a friend who heard it in person at a
public lecture by the famous C. Northcote Parkinson at the Indian Institute of
Technology, Madras. Since this is second-hand (and from memory), it may not be
an exact quote but is close enough. The original delivery almost brought the
house down, as the cliche' goes.
Government's handling of a difficult matter by appointing a Commission
of Enquiry is just like a person going to the toilet -- there is a
sitting, a report, and then the matter is dropped!
