Our paper [6] studied in some depth certain locally nilpotent skew linear groups, but our conclusions there left some obvious gaps. By means of a trick, which now seems obvious, but then did not, we are able to tidy up the situation very satisfactorily. This present paper should be viewed as a follow up to [6]. In particular we do not repeat the motivation, basic definitions and references to related work given here.

The following was conjectured in [6], where substantial steps were taken towards its solution.
