The last report the committee signed off on related to wards of court. The oversight on investment decisions regarding wards of court comes under the aegis of the Courts Service. We sent our report to the Minister on 22 February, which I accept is not quite two months. We requested the Minister's intention and consideration of the report. Its recommendations were reflective of the committee's consideration of not only the Courts Service when it was before us but those representatives of the wards of court themselves, the families, and Justice for Wards, the primary campaigning group. We would appreciate the Minister's consideration and response as soon as he may be able to offer it.
