Mr. Philip Maguire:

Yes, this is a matter that has been discussed in significant detail in consultation with the local community. As we own little or no land in the area we will not develop projects and we will not be the employing contractor. We are not able to affect contracts as we cannot put into planning permissions anything other than planning conditions. However, we recognise that while we will deliver for the area some 25,000 jobs it is important for the local community that there is education and training and that we work with contractors to facilitate the delivery of benefits to the communities. As the agency responsible, when developments are being carried out it is our intention to work with developers and contractors to try to maximise local employment.
