I thank the officials for attending and for the volume and quality of the documentation that was forwarded. It is helpful for these discussions because it is all about the detail, as I have learned during the three days we have been examining allowances. Earlier, reference was made to officials being involved in the creation of this system in the past. I am conscious that when officials appear before us, they are the incarnation of politicians past.
