MS ELLIS (11.33): In addressing Public Accounts Committee report No. 15, I want to make a few very brief comments. In our inquiry process, the committee received advice from Ministers - in fact, it involved the whole of the Executive - on the status of a number of issues raised by the Auditor-General in the second part of this two-part audit process. I remind members that this audit process had been suggested to the Auditor-General by the Chief Minister some time ago. It has proven to be a very useful process. As a member of the committee, I was satisfied with the responses given. I draw members' attention to the recommendation in this report which, as the chair said, is calling for a status report, or a conclusive report, on the remaining issues, all of which appear to be receiving attention and are being developed or worked on by various areas of the Government, except for that one which has had attention drawn to it in relation to the request for information by October 1994. In some cases, understandably, it will be a status report, because some of these processes are ongoing rather than instantly conclusive. In general terms, I have no problem with the PAC's report in this case.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
