Mr. Carville may not personally, but the collective actions of a number of Departments and State agencies who are audited by and are under the remit of the Comptroller and Auditor General show that contempt. I do not mean Mr. Carville personally. This is not personal, but in practice this is what is happening. I have tabled a number of parliamentary questions in which I have asked for a copy of the contract between the Department and the special liquidators. The answer I received was that this was commercially sensitive information. What is so commercially sensitive about the contract?
