With due respect, if this were a private company it would have been struck off long ago and would be out of business. We cannot have different standards applying in the private and public sectors. I expect the Comptroller and Auditor General to draw to the attention of the Committee of Public Accounts where accounts are outstanding for this length of time, as it involves taxpayers' money.

Is that a legitimate point?
