I accept that it has improved, but why did it take an effort by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, which reports every year to us, and then scrutiny from the committee where we put Accounting Officers through their paces? In fact, I think we sent some of them out of the room at one point earlier this year or last year for not having their accounts up to date.
Why was there a problem? The situation has improved but it is still well below the level reached by other areas.
