Mr. David Cooney:

I think there are matters which have been highlighted about which one would wonder why they were not done. I refer to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. He picked us up on the fact that in his view we should have been informed earlier of the reports of the deterioration of the situation in Uganda. I cannot argue with that. I fully accept the Comptroller and Auditor General's proposal that we should have a risk dashboard put in place and we are working on that. I agree that perhaps we should have had systems in place before. That is the value of these reports. I refer to paragraph 6 of the Synthesis report which sets out a number of proposals, some of which one might legitimately say we should have had in place. I do not mind accepting that there were weaknesses and if there were, I am glad they have been pointed out and we will put them right. Mr. Brendan Rogers is responsible for this area and he may have a different perspective to me.
