Yes, but somewhat carefully. I would hope that officials would not just turn up every six months. I would hope they would be required to turn up and would accept invitations. We will have to conduct the experiment. People should respond to the democratically elected representatives of the people and not be begrudging or parsimonious in their attendance. Having to be required to turn up is not a good definition of accountability. I will go with the Minister as he was very generous to us earlier.
