Mr. Ken Spratt:

The timeline that we will be coming forward with will be around moving to the next stage of the public spending code and the next decision gate. It will also be around moving into planning. I am sorry for emphasising this to the Deputy, but it is important. In order to guard against all those bad things that happen to big public procurement projects, we can only move through the decision gates one gate at a time. It is only when we come through the final decision gate, decision gate 3, with the full cost-benefit analysis to award a contract, that we will have sight on when the project is likely to go into and start construction, and when it is likely to complete construction. Many go to Government without a timeline. The timeline will be around going into planning. It will not be around the finalisation of the construction of the project.
