At that meeting information was sought by my colleague, Deputy Sean Fleming. This information, relevant to these Supplementary Estimates, was to be supplied but, to date, despite it being requested again by Deputy Fleming and me via the Whips' office, we are sitting here being asked to approve the taking of the Supplementary Estimates without the information having been supplied. I put it to the Minister that it is a most unsatisfactory situation. We should not be asked to blindly accept Supplementary Estimates of this scale, in particular, without the relevant information being supplied to the Members.
