As I have said, we are moving in the right direction in respect of publication but we are not there yet. I think Mr. Watt would accept that the reports are not out. As I said, we will not be able to complete our consideration of the PPP chapter in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General until we see some of these reports published. They will help us conclude. I do not think there is a bias involved. It is good for confidence in PPPs. People might have different views on the concept but many people are happy to see work going ahead. The public, however, wants to be assured that it is getting value for money. That is all we are trying to assist.
