Chairperson, firstly, we should have some sense of perspective. It is 4% of the debt that government departments owe, but it is bad enough, I agree.
Secondly, can we do what you are asking? I will raise that with my Minister. In principle, some form of public statement in this regard at regular intervals seems to me to be reasonable at this stage. I will confer with the Minister and the other relevant Ministers and the department officials, who no doubt are taking notes while they are seated there, though I don't see them with any pens, but hopefully they are registering everything and we will follow up on it. Thank you.
