Has a price been agreed on the tender? Ordinary people are asking if there is a cut-off point where a price has been agreed with BAM? Is this a fixed-price contract? Is there a built-in element of contingencies? This project has to proceed. It is important for the health and well-being of generations to come and has been flagged for decades. The Government has taken on the challenge and put it in place. Taking out any element of ambiguity, is the contract itself at a final price? I ask the Minister to take the mystique away from it and distil it to its final state.
