I was of the opinion that Mr. Barry still had that power because of the briefing note we received this morning, but I stand corrected.

I have a final question. There has been much talk about trying to control some of the cost escalations and identifying savings. I do not expect Mr. Barry to give commercial details but is he hopeful that significant savings can be made in the coming months or is it likely, as has been widely reported, that the cost will continue to increase?
