It would be good if that were expedited.

The Secretary General's opening statement referred to direct provision and the working group. It stated that data had been compiled for that. Did this working group make recommendations on direct provision? I was struck by something in that opening statement - I am sure Mr. Waters did not mean it in any derogatory way at all and I am not suggesting that he did. The final paragraph stated that there is no cheaper alternative to direct provision. With respect it is not just about economics; it is also about making it a more humane system. Did the working group make any recommendations in that regard?
