The Department has figures for outstanding amounts that are due to it and recorded as an asset. I am not talking about this being a contingent asset. Does the Department not consider the amount that is due to be paid by the institutions as an amount actually due? If it believes it is due and has to provide that it might not get it all, we are into a different question. However, the Department has made a decision not to record it because it has made a decision that it is not due to the Department.
