I thank the Minister for his presentation which dovetails with the discussion we had during Question Time in the Chamber yesterday. When he announced his plan in November 2011, I mentioned the appointments of eight to ten senior responsible owners in the overall delivery of each of the major ten crosscutting projects. Are they ten new staff? How many people have been employed to deliver this? The document gave the impression they were new positions. They might be old people with new jobs. It is just new titles.
