One of the risks that arises when the State is trying to reduce expenditure is that people who are tendering will be tempted to go below the price they ought to charge. This is something we need to consider carefully.

On the sale of State assets, I ask about the status of the sale of the national lottery. Can Mr. Watts comment on whether a claim for compensation has been made by the Rehab group? Once the process is complete, will the State and organisations that indirectly benefit from the national lottery benefit to the same degree?
