I have sought the indulgence of the Chair of the Committee that, there were documents which were supposed to be supplied to the Committee but they lacked sufficient time. So, we want to address this matter in the subsequent Report conclusively, so that the Auditor- General can do further audit as directed by the Committee in their findings.
