I missed those questions and I will answer them. All advice given to me is available in written format. We have a certain process within the Government and every decision I have to make is provided to me in written format. The advice contains the perspectives of the relevant Department. I have ample meetings and a large amount of engagement with my officials on, perhaps not every single decision, but on key decisions we have to make. In that context I tease out many different options for each decision. Every decision I make, as Minister for Finance, is in written format. I do not know whether it is available within a certain time period. If any of my colleagues know the answer to that they will tell me and if they do not, I will revert to the committee.
