We can hold onto the slot on 24 March but we need to fill it next week because we need to give public and other bodies that appear before us at least four weeks' notice. We know they spend a significant amount of time preparing to come before us. In fairness to many of them, they supply us with a substantial amount of information before and during the meeting. We have to be fair. There is no point in bringing in a body that is ill-prepared or doing so if we do not have our part of it together. I am mindful of the fact that we are dependent on the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General to a large extent. What we need to do immediately is to get a response in respect of that basket of issues that has been raised.
