I thank the Minister for his opening statement and introduction to today's meeting. I am somewhat disappointed that we do not have any out-turns figures for 2013. They would be most useful in terms of examining the Estimate for 2014. We are simply comparing the 2013 Estimate with the 2014 Estimate. We are not examining the actual outturns that took place during the year and that is somewhat disappointing.
