I have 20 questions which, with the permission of the committee, I will send in writing. We might get answers in writing.

When Ms McPhillips was last here we were talking about external surveillance. There have been reports on that issue since then. A letter came back to us after a previous meeting. It was determined that sums of money were paid to two private security companies. The letter stated: "It is not possible from the information available to determine if these payments relate to the surveillance of prison staff". Have we found out anything more since?
