Mr. Robert Watt:

The Department was getting to the bottom of the cost issue. That is clear from the correspondence, minutes and so forth that the Deputy has seen and which have been quoted. When the Department was in a position to talk to us, it was brought to the attention of the Minister and we sought a detailed report. Four days after that report was presented we sat down with the Department's officials and a few days later the Minister received a very detailed report from our team with our assessment of the options we needed to pursue. That is the timeline.
