I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General's office to issue a statement on that basis to all the media, and will arrange with the Committee of Public Accounts secretariat for a statement to be made about this morning's discussions and this correction. The Committee of Public Accounts recognises that there was wrong information before us this morning. We appreciate the Comptroller and Auditor General's honesty and integrity in coming forward at the first opportunity to correct this morning's record. He did so very promptly and we acknowledged that he did so at the first available opportunity. A press statement will go out from his office and our own.
