With respect, I know about the 2008 report, as well as the 2010 and 2015 reports. I am specifically asking about the 2006 report. We need to establish that if all the agencies were doing their job, we might have been able to get to the bottom of all this much more quickly. It took until 2016 and it was 2015 before the Department became aware of all this. There was a flag that would potentially have been raised in 2006 but there was an incomplete report. I have already asked the Comptroller and Auditor General at a previous sitting when he believes his office should have been alerted to issues. He said it should have happened in 2006, if my memory is correct.
