I wish to be clear on two issues. The business cases have been made, but the information is not complete. Therefore, it is important, when we request information, that we receive a list of allowances in each Department, the amounts of the allowances, the numbers in receipt of allowances and the total amount. It is also important that we receive an indication of the average salaries of grades receiving allowances or those in receipt of the lowest and highest salaries and those who are in the middle in order that the information is complete. We know from the business cases made that some have provided the information, while others have not. If we are to be successful in identifying where we think savings could be made, we will need to know how much we are talking about in each instance.

My second point relates to how the Chairman envisages matters proceeding from when the Minister comes before the committee. Is he coming on 10 October?
