My next question is about process - it is not about individual Ministers or Governments - and it is just to get an understanding. Mr. Watts has served through various Administrations. Projects have gone well and badly for all parties and none over the years. As a matter of practice is there a process by which on a weekly, monthly or quarterly business the Minister of the day - I do not refer specifically to the current Minister - sits down with the Secretary General and says "These are the 50 capital projects and here is the update"? Does this process happen at all and, if so, how frequently?
