Chairperson, I'd like to thank the Acting Minster in the presence of the Deputy Minister for answering the question. Mr Acting Minister, the allegation is that the Deputy Minister established a youth organisation of some sort, and he then organised for the payment of travel and accommodation for members of this organisation. Now whether this institution existed or not is an allegation, I understand, that was being investigated at the time.
Could I then ask you to give an assurance to this House, on behalf of the actual Minister that, in fact, this institution's allegation is incorrect; that no such organisation was established by the Deputy Minister; that no such persons were ever sent, whether they were on Home Affairs business or other business, around the country; that transport or accommodation costs were incurred, and in fact that any money that was spent - if in fact it was spent at all - was spent in the best interests of the taxpayer on Home Affairs business? Could you give us that assurance, please? Thank you.
