I have no difficulty bashing the Commission. If it is being over-zealous in designing supports or parameters, it is perfectly legitimate for us to criticise it. If it is the fault of the Commission that the parameters are so narrow, it certainly deserves to be bashed.

The accounts note a significant number of lands held by the Department. This is a matter I raise with other Departments. Has the Department obtained a valuation for those lands? Why is there no valuation for them in the accounts?
