Given that the Comptroller and Auditor General compiled a supplementary report on this matter, one of the things that struck me was the relationship between the executive and the board. To be fair to the board, a board can only work, as far as I can see, on information that it is given. If information is withheld from or not given to a board or any of its subcommittees, the board does not work. Was it the case that the board was not able to do its job sufficiently because it was not given sufficient information on many of the issues that the Comptroller and Auditor General dealt with in his report?
