I asked about the permanent government. Did the officials bring it to the Minister's attention and at what time? I appreciate the principle of Cabinet confidentiality, but the Minister must be able to give us a view of what has been discussed by the Government at different levels. I accept there are constraints on what the Minister can say about what was said around the Cabinet table. What are the views of the Government on this?
