Catherine Connolly: That is okay. Just sticking with the accounts for a minute, I have a couple of practical questions. There is a reference to scheme pre-payments on page 14 of the appropriation accounts. What are scheme pre-payments? The figure has jumped significantly.

Catherine Connolly: I just lost the letters. I know exactly where it is and will be coming back to it. If we had a breakdown of that, it would be good. On unmatched payments in the same accounts, on page 5 I read that overpaid customers sometimes make repayment with insufficient details. People of their own accord decide to pay back some money in the case of an overpayment, is that it?

Catherine Connolly: I have read the Comptroller and Auditor General's chapters and note the Department has taken on board his recommendations. One chapter had no recommendation but really there was a recommendation within the conclusion to simplify online applications. Mr. McKeon dealt with that earlier. The Department has taken that on board, even though it was not a recommendation as such. It was one,...

The Comptroller and Auditor General talked about...
