That is okay. We have had a wide-ranging discussion about many issues in a big Department with considerable responsibility. I thank the witnesses for joining us today and the staff in the Department for the work involved in preparing for the meeting. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and the staff in his office for assisting the committee today. Is it agreed that the clerk will seek any follow-up information and carry out any actions agreed arising from this meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and the briefing documents provided for today's meeting? Agreed.

With the agreement of the committee, we will suspend briefly to allow officials to withdraw before we deal with a few matters in private session.
