This is seeking further information. Basically, we want to know how, when the legislation was being drafted, the confidentiality clauses were included. Who knows about the unclaimed prizes? I presume the regulator knows but is unable to divulge the information as a result of the clauses put in place. I am trying to figure who else knows aside from the regulator. Does somebody in the Department know and who audits those accounts? The Comptroller and Auditor General does not do it.
