Mr. Robert Watt:
The answer I will give to the Deputy is the one he expects, so I apologise for that. It is a matter for the Secretary General of the relevant Department. I am aware that the Department is actively managing the contract. It has to do so. There are milestones and targets. I am aware that the Secretary General is involved in this. It is obviously complex and difficult and I presume Covid has had an impact.
