My questions pick up where Deputy Stanley finished on oversight. It would be quite useful for us to get the detail. We are informed that the proposed contribution will enable fulfilment of contractual obligations arising in 2012. I would like to know what the contractual obligations are. Unless we have that detail, which may well be available but which I have not seen, it is difficult to evaluate. Given what has happened in the past week or so, we cannot but be aware that the peace is still fragile and needs to be worked on. It would be quite useful to understand what exactly is coming out of it.

Will this Supplementary Estimate be the only one put in front us? Last year there was funding taken out of the homeless fund for an oversight commitment and it occurred quite late in the day as well.
