In its own statements, has the board given an indication that it intends to regularise this? I have a fundamental difficulty. I understand that when an urgency arises, sometimes there may be an issue for non-compliance in procurement.

When there is a rolling five-year contract, however, in the sixth year there is not the luxury of being able to say it came out of the blue.
