Mr. John McKeon:

I will commission a cost-benefit analysis of this from a body such as the ESRI and we will publish the results. In response to the Deputy's question to the Comptroller and Auditor General, I suggest that when this is done if the Comptroller and Auditor General wants to come in and look at it, he will be very welcome.
