Mr. John Conlon:

I do not want to be cynical, but the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General will always be busy because that is its focus and its job. I want to assure the Chairman that, as a Department, we challenge Departments on their expenditure on a very regular basis, particularly larger Departments. For example, the Department of Transport and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, which had underspends last year, are challenged by us on the outputs they are achieving for the expenditure, and that is a very regular challenge.
