Let me just take the sequence. We are here at the Committee of Public Accounts. I cannot talk for the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. I am sure it sends information to the Department as part of its audit findings. When it makes proposals and recommendations, it gives the Department a chance before they are published. Is it the case that most people who do reports engage with the Department at some stage? Maybe they are not obliged to engage with the Department. Maybe it is a case of "here is the report".
