I am not making little of the need to restore the house and to keep it right, and neither am I making it the policy of mergers. When there is a €5 million price tag on a merger, if it were to go ahead to the extent of taking charge of the house, which it probably will have to do, it is not a very cost-effective way of managing a merger.
