I again thank our guests for their very logical presentation which sets out the goals and requirements. Nothing is worse than setting out the goals and requirements and then nothing happening afterwards. Given the sensitivity and importance of this area, I do not accept the notion that other areas went forward and received what they sought at the time but other areas received less and some none at all. We have referred to areas with massive populations which are growing all the time and that is obviously not being taken into account. From the past, I know that people sometimes take decisions to suit the occasion rather than the need. This is one particular need that has to be addressed in the very near future. We will be taking that up - I know the Chairman will also - with the responsible authorities when they next appear on the scene.
