There will not be because the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade is dealing with policy, whereas we will discuss a specific chapter in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. We can deal with the issue raised by Deputy Simon Harris in that respect. A delegation from the committee will travel to Mozambique to examine the processes in place to protect the taxpayer's money and where the money is going in respect of projects undertaken. We will have the opportunity, together with officials from the Comptroller and Auditor General's office, to inspect at first hand what is in place and we will do this on the basis of an invitation from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It will also be connected with the report on what happened recently in Uganda.
We have agreed to request a meeting. I will ask the clerk to the committee to agree the date with the relevant officials as soon as possible, as the Deputy requested.
