I do not have to remember anything. I will read this again. This is for you, Mr. Gloster. While Mr. Mulvany is the financial officer, the buck will stop with Mr. Gloster and with Mr. Watt when he decides to appear. According to the Comptroller and Auditor General's special report:

The report only included expenditure for ventilators that had been delivered and did not include the payments in advance and refunds received from cancelled orders.

Why? What is wrong with the system?
