I specifically said in my question to the Secretary General that the issue of non-tendering is not necessarily associated with a loss. I was not going to raise it because I accept the report and see the valid reason for it. Is it possible for Mr. Robert Watt to send us a note summarising, for the years 2011 and 2012, where there was a loss of income and a waste of taxpayers' money? In a separate column, there should be a list of occasions on which procedures were not followed, albeit with no quantifiable loss. This would be helpful to us and it would be very helpful for Mr. Watt to have it on his desk. I thought that was one part of his job.
