We discussed this in private session. In a newspaper report, the Peter McVerry Trust indicated that it would now attend the Committee of Public Accounts whereas previously, in correspondence when we asked the trust to come before us, it indicated that it really had nothing to offer. I know our predecessor Committee of Public Accounts made several attempts to get the trust to come before the committee. Now it has explicitly stated in public that it will attend a committee meeting when it publishes its accounts. The trust knows the dates on which it will publish those accounts. I am anxious that we give priority to the Peter McVerry Trust coming before the committee. I ask that we write to the trust asking it to nail its colours to the mast with a date to come before the committee.
