I welcome the delegates. I wish to ask about specific allowances. Archaic language was mentioned. The chaplain's housekeeper's allowance is €1,868 per year. Where an additional maidservant is required, the payment is €842 per year. I am intrigued by these figures. Fourteen individuals are in receipt of these allowances. Does Mr. Howard see the allowances?
