What does that mean? It sounds great on paper, but if that was the case and if we applied everything from A to Z, there would not have been the "Prime Time" programme last Thursday night and we would not be debating it here. How does that apply to the operational matter here? We have the set of principles written down, and Mr. Cullen included his procurement policies in Appendix A, but how does it happen in real terms to ensure that what was reported in the "Prime Time" programme will not happen again?
