I am confused because I see some names redacted, but grades included while other names are made available. I do not understand why that is. There could be more freedom of information requests, whether about the Chairman or anyone on the committee for all we know. That is something we can never ask. Long may freedom of information requests be possible and people allowed make them. There should be no suggestion that there should be no further freedom of information requests or that this should be the end of it. As long as we are here, and even long after we are gone, it will be possible for people to make freedom of information requests,

The issue of spouses travelling with Members has become a big issue. Does the Chairman have an issue with the Comptroller and Auditor General looking at this issue and the costs involved?
