I thank the witnesses for their attendance and for their presentation on foot of a very useful report on the issues surrounding if-and-when contracts. The Sinn Féin Bill recommends banded contracts. It recommends six or seven bands. Do the witnesses have a view on how many bands would be useful? They may or may not know that the draft legislation the Government is working on recommends just three bands. Do they see any advantages or disadvantages either way in that regard?
