I understand the political banter and why the Minister has talked about things happening on the previous Government's watch and not his own. I think that that is a valid point. What action has been taken to deal with the officials who made that ““cock-up””? This is what I find all the time. When one Government leaves office, the other one blames them. On this occasion, the problem is down to civil servants and individuals. Are they still working? Has action been taken to ensure that they do not make the same mistakes again?
