Dr. Quinn knew, coming here today, that there would be questions about the restart grant scheme. We have discovered that no reviews were carried out as they were supposed to be, per the service-level agreement. Despite Dr. Quinn saying that the Department would have known how many businesses had ceased trading by the introduction of the reformed scheme in August, she does not have the figures to hand to tell us.
