Mr President, I ask a supplementary question, and I note in asking it that the minister did not answer my original question. I now ask the minister: will Serco Sodexho now be liable for the cost of the overtime that Defence has to pay its personnel so that they can act as escorts to cleaners at Defence facilities? Or will Defence itself simply pick up the tab, meaning that taxpayers will have to fork out to pay for the government’s ideological position on AWAs?
