The Peter McVerry Trust issue warrants discussion with regard to the answers provided by the Secretary General, which indicated the Department and the wider public will be in possession of a larger number of facts following the conclusion of the reports. Depending on the content of the reports, we should consider inviting the Department to come back to discuss this specific topic. I do not know whether members would agree but I believe there are significant issues the Committee of Public Accounts should be raising directly, even though the Peter McVerry Trust is not directly accountable to us. The Department is and we did not have a full opportunity today to explore this.
