To return to my original point, I cannot understand how it is possible to have so many constituent bodies allegedly operating in the same direction. From the very beginning, the issue has related to the original cost. I know preliminary costings were done. How preliminary were they in this instance? The presumption would be that, based on preliminaries, there could have been 10%, 5%, 4% or whatever and that various PC sums were written in. To what extent were those overruns raised initially in 2017?
