The same Act also provides, at section 7, that the term of office for the Auditor-General should be a period not exceeding seven years. So, it would have been quite appropriate for the Chief Minister to appoint the current Auditor-General, Mr O'Neill, for a specific period rather than for an indeterminate period, which is in fact what has happened, unfortunately. I therefore call on the Chief Minister to provide the Auditor-General with a fixed-date tenure as she has proposed in her letter of 12 August.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 11.25 pm
