I think it was in June or perhaps May; in the last month. The group has been working through the details as quickly as it can. We have a tight but constructive timetable. It is very complex. It is extremely difficult for all of the Departments to do, but we now have a timetable which I have laid out before the committee which will be kept to, give or take a week or two here or there. It is perfectly viable and will deliver on time. The Deputy is right about the delays while waiting for the Attorney General's advice. It was extraordinarily inconvenient and has left us in a much more difficult position. However, we are working at full speed and with a great sense of urgency. The committee can see that the timetable I have set out is workable and provides sufficient time to deliver the runway on time and also to deliver the noise regulator in time to make new regulations for it.
