The recommendations of the committee are few, and I will not go through them. We believe that, if the Government adopts these recommendations, it will put a consistency into all of this, so that everybody clearly understands what the process is. There will be timely advice to the Assembly as to what is happening with the money originally appropriated and how the Government intends to change that around, and we will all have a clearer picture of how the appropriations are being managed and what the outcome is at the end of the fiscal year, as opposed to what we thought it was going to be when we approved the appropriations in the first place. I think these proposals are eminently sensible. They fit in with what the Treasury is now proposing to do. They extend that slightly to put the Assembly in the process, which I do not think the Treasury envisaged. It puts the information into that place where it ought to be, and that is the Assembly, where the appropriations are approved in the first place. I believe that, as an organisation, we should be oversighting what is happening and at least informing ourselves on all of that. I commend the report to the Assembly.

Debate (on motion by Mr Moore) adjourned.
