I refer to the recent Four

I thank the member for the question.
I
think the appropriate body to look at this is the Public Accounts Committee
because it is cross-party. I have already had a discussion with the
chairperson of that committee about its workload capacity to look at it, and I believe
that will be considered at the next meeting of that committee.
The SPEAKER : If there is no
supplementary question, that will conclude question time.
