The Government has said that the Opposition fails to understand that when they ask a question in Parliament, the answer that will be given to them is to the question that has been asked. Number Six says that the GSD “should not sound so hypocritical because this is the same policy that they adopted when they were in Government.”

The answer to the GSD’s question regarding payments made to the GFA “is therefore very simple and it has already been explained” says the Government: “The GFA will repay the Government the sum in question. This has been lent and not paid. The sum of £104 has been paid. That is the end of the story.”
