With regard to time management, we should bear in mind that this committee has two separate Departments to deal with, or two and a half if one includes the Office of Public Works, and also the fact that at least three meetings have already been scheduled for next week. I can understand spokesmen on public expenditure and reform, and finance, seeking information but I must accommodate them all. I do not want to be in circumstances in which I must schedule a fourth or fifth meeting next week. If on concluding today the Department fails to provide the requested information, I will call in its representatives to deal with how information is being presented to us.
