I do not know what criteria the County and City Management Association was given for this afternoon's meeting. I do now know whether the representatives were asked to come with a blank canvas or to bring all the necessary information, which I think they would have at their fingertips in any event. We cannot expect that any of the people the Chairman has said are coming would not to be able to do so and to bring with them some of the information that is needed. Many of the questions will probably be answered this afternoon and we should wait to see what happens.

I would like Alice Leahy from the Alice Leahy Trust to be invited to appear. She deals with the homeless at the coalface on a day-to-day basis. As well as academics, we should be looking at those people-----
