I find it interesting that every two years when the contract was looked at, nothing seemed to stand out. Maybe there was nothing to see, but it seems a bit odd. I turn to the QA matter. This is back to the regulation and we are dealing with Brexit. Every country or area has its QA people who come in to ensure the machine is working properly, that the guy checking is qualified and that the QP is right and all that. However, would that QA process have involved any examination of the tables I have been speaking about to Mr. McCallion? I see those as two separate things. QA is about machinery and skilled operators but it seems to be conflated here today. QA is a question of whether the laboratory is working, ensuring there are no rats in the corner, that the temperature is right and that people sign in so the right people are in the room and nothing is compromised. Am I right in saying that?
