I do not wish to be rude to Ms Nolan. I am sure she is an accomplished and committed public servant but when I hear the officials of the Department before this committee, and not least today, I hear waffle. It pains me to say that. Ms Nolan was listening to the proceedings earlier and the Comptroller and Auditor General made clear that it is not a quibble over accountancy treatment but a matter of economic decision making. I am sure Ms Nolan heard him make that point.
