I ask Mr. Doocey to do so because a two-year delay in delivery is considerable. To me it speaks of potential weaknesses in the contract and the tender. If we could get explicit detail, I would be very interested. It has a direct immediate impact. It also has an impact on the follow-on carriages, which have not been ordered. At what stage will that happen? Is it only in 2027 that the continuation of the order will follow through? The Department has said it will be a reduced timeline in terms of the delivery of these but what is that timeline without having to go through all of the safety checks again?
