I wish to ask a practical question. This is merely a factual query. If a local authority wishes to have a tender arrangement with say, maintenance contractors, it puts out a general call, a bunch of applicants come in and it makes an agreement with three contractors, each of which has a contract for three years or five years. The authority hands out the jobs as they come. Is the Minister saying that the Attorney General has said that this type of arrangement is not possible for large-scale builds?
