I thank Mr. Ginnell for briefing us. We will take on board some of the comments he made on the EU fund and incorporate them in our draft. We will send a copy of the transcript of the debate to the Minister for Social Protection for her comments.
With regard to our political contribution to the fund for European aid, as discussed previously, is it agreed that we send the political contribution? Members have the draft. We will make some small adjustments to account for issues raised by the delegates at the meeting on the Food Bank infrastructure and using groups that have the capacity to develop a relationship with the people concerned. Is that agreed? Agreed.
