I will move on then. Regarding Vote 12, in recent weeks it has come to light that Ministers and senior civil servants have been overpaid a significant amount. I understand the Department said it did not know but it was reported in the papers that this included two Ministers, 39 former Ministers and 30 senior civil servants. That is a total of 71 individuals. Is there an overlap between the current and former Ministers who have received additional payments who should not have done so?
