Mr. Robert Watt:
I agree with the Deputy. There are legal costs and the Comptroller and Auditor General has instanced examples where there are a number of legal challenges. We can certainly come back to the Deputy. I suppose the point I would make in relation to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report is that all capital works projects, not just PPPs, are vulnerable to legal challenge. It is a fair point. It is a constant challenge for us.
