The only immediate urgency is the fact that we have meetings arranged for next week and the following week. It takes a couple of weeks lead-in for a Department to get ready to come here so we must decide the next one or two straight away and maybe have the full list of everything we mentioned here today next week. It is up to us then. The secretariat can give us a draft and we can move something up or down at next week's meeting. In terms of the February meeting, we want to indicate something fairly promptly. The simplest thing to do is take one or two of the chapters from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report because they in the system. We could take funding of local authorities and the land aggregation scheme. There is a chapter on that. Alternatively, we could take the procurement and management of contracts for direct provision straight away. We need to get about two meetings up and running straight away and then we have a little breathing time to put the timetable on the rest of our work.
