They said that to us. We know that one of the conflict of interest cases with Europe concerns how the tender was awarded to the initial consortium that came in with the local authority. There have been massive problems on the private financial side over a number of years, hence the delays. Departmental officials know that but still they have not intervened. We know that the value for money exercise to be resubmitted and redone is a technical one; it is not a business case. The Capita report said that the absence of a single business case for the waste energy project is a significant departure from generally accepted best practice in project governance and should be addressed as a matter of priority. Is Mr. McCarthy going to demand a business case?
