I have recalled my last question. I probably forgot it because I am not sure it is something the witnesses must be concerned about, but it is something that must concern the Government. There would be little point in installing state-of-the-art communications if organs of Government, State and semi-State bodies and schools, hospitals and so forth continue to use record systems that Charles Dickens would work with quite comfortably. I am aware there is a body examining the use of IT, but it is something the Government must take a great deal more seriously than it does at present.
