I thank the Minister, Secretary General and the officials for their input. The Minister will be politically aware that we want to focus on one specific issue - to which neither the Minister nor the Secretary General referred - that of the management of correspondence within the Department from the authorised officer. He has said that the correspondence was sent to the Minister's home address and office by registered post in 2012 and that no action was seen to have been taken on that correspondence until earlier this year. The Minister has avoided any comment on specifically his role in managing that correspondence and in forwarding it on to the relevant authorities.
