    "content": "If you look at this Report of 2005/2006 and even the report you concluded yesterday of 2004/2005, there are two major recurring themes amongst many issues. First, that the Treasury Memorandum for the last, I think, six or so reports are yet to be realised by the Committee. The other recurring statement, you will recall in this report, is that the Committee reiterates its previous recommendations. Those two can summarise what the report is all about. The contribution I really want to make is that the Tenth Parliament must make a difference that all the previous reports and Committees in the previous Parliament were never taken seriously. The Tenth Parliament must make a difference in the sense that it has a Committee on Implementation, the PAC and the PIC that are committed. In the great tradition, we started in the Ninth Parliament where people think hon. Members do not work extra-hard, in fact, I wish to confirm, because when I served in the PAC, we took the trouble of ensuring that we are looking at two years concurrently so that the backlog that we were dealing with; that was deliberately used by the Executive to deny Parliament the authority to interrogate and bring people to account, was being taken advantage of."
