Deputy Simon Harris is correct in regard to the need to follow local government expenditure, but I thought we had already addressed this issue. We met in private session at one stage because we attempted to see a change in the legislation, but that change was not forthcoming. The idea was that we would either do our work as a sub-committee investigating local spending or that there would be another arrangement. We discussed the issue and a decision was made on the role we would play. I cannot remember the decision made off the top of my head, but some new practice was meant to be developed.
