Through the Chair, will the Minister comment on the concern that this is not a routine and operational matter and that it is a matter of policy direction? If it is a disagreement, so be it. The concerns of the Comptroller and Auditor General were also looked at in our report and the concerns do not direct towards this particular restructuring option, as expressed by the Comptroller and Auditor General. If it is a disagreement, so be it.

There is a very real concern on the ground. May I make a genuine request to the Minister, as the Chair has said, to consider revisiting not only our report but the source documents for our report because I believe the Citizens Information Board is out of step?
