In response to a question of Deputy Catherine Murphy, Mr. Griffin referred to penalties, oversights and clawbacks. How will that work when a contract has been awarded? I would consider these things, such as scope for movement on certain issues, to be a nightmare for investors. At the end of the day, investors want a return on their money. How do these penalties and so on fit into a contract? The witnesses may respond after we break for lunch. I am concerned about a contract being signed with this company that obviously has lots of expertise and, based on the evidence that has been given, seems to be capable of doing the job, but that when we say we want clawback and penalties it will respond, "On your bike. You need us." What protection exists in that regard?
