We are going to have to disagree on this. I note with disappointment that there was advice available to the greyhound board before the signing of the contract to specify this in the contract.

However, Mr. Neilan signed that contract without that being done, with the consent of the board. I am simply noting that point.

On 29 April, 2008, the project manager prepared what has been described as a draft side letter to agree the filling terms, in addition to the contract. We now know that the filling did not make it into the contract, despite the engineers suggesting that it should. We now also know that the project manager prepared a draft side letter. I have been informed that the aforementioned letter was not signed either.
