Mr. Robert Watt:

No. As we have set out, if we had finalised the agreement and it had required additional funding this year or a commitment in the Estimates subsequently, the Minister would then have been involved. If it had got to the stage where the details were finalised, we had got beyond the proposed arrangements and letter of intent, which mentioned that the details needed to be worked out, and we had a firm agreement, the intention had always been for the Minister to be involved then.

I will revert to the choreography of this, which we have already addressed. We announced that this was happening but that we had not worked through the details. The proposal was to work through the full details and make the announcement once we had those.
