That is a point of difference because I would not have contended it was as risky an investment as perhaps was suggested in the first instance. It seemed to me an obvious project with a State-backed contract for a major commercial opportunity. It was underpinned, as the Chairman said, very strongly. It did not have a high risk profile. That is as may be. That is a difference of opinion and that is okay; we are allowed to have that.
