On that very issue, there is increasing speculation within the House, and particularly outside it, and I would like to give the Government the opportunity to dispel it. The speculation is that the reason for the non-payment is not computer problems but rather that the Minister’s ambition for the scheme overshot his budget. That is an acknowledged problem in other Departments but I want to get clarity on it because there is increasing speculation that the reason it is not being paid out is because the Department does not have the money.
