I will come back to it because I am watching my time.

My last question, on the appropriation accounts, concerns a special note in regard to rent controls. Reference is made to Mr. Maurice Buckley, Accounting Officer, 17 September 2018, and to rents receivable. It is stated an internal review into rent collection controls was carried out in 2017. The review identified that there are weaknesses in controls, due largely to the scale and diverse nature of the portfolio. I accept not the weaknesses but the diverse nature of the portfolio. Also identified is the lack of a central register of all lease agreements. Who carried out that review internally? Why did it happen? Was it as a result of the activity of the Comptroller and Auditor General?
