We will seek a detailed letter first with a view to inviting them in to discuss it. I can only think of the motorways project. They all started at a figure which escalated as time went on. Eventually, they began to get their original estimates and the final prices to come a little bit closer. It looks as if all those lessons on what were the biggest capital projects at the time have not transferred to the people over this project. It does lead to the question of the whole issue of competence and these commercial matters in the public service.
