Mr. John Swords:
-----for us, that would be the wrong course to take because we do not have legal grounds to do so. We have allegations. Until wrongdoing has been determined, we cannot do that. What we will do is schedule these issues into our work plans and put those products out to tender. It will then be for the parent companies - the manufacturers - to make adjustments in how they deal with the HSE. We may be able to do some work there.
