Mr. Maurice Quinn:

W certainly agree with the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. I have a list of all the things we have sold over many years and every one has been sold by a normal tender competition or public auction in order to derive the full value the market could deliver. The difference in this case was there were exceptional circumstances.
