I agree with you on that point. What we are talking about is Government pay policy, but we are not getting full information. It is only dripping out subsequently when we hear of breaches of pay policy that are unauthorised. This is a clear case of it. Some of the other issues raised are related to this. It is important that this be done urgently and that the matter be raised at this committee. I agree that it could be done and that the broader issues could be dealt with at a later stage.
