Mr. Peter Hendrick:

We have multiple, what I would call, independent assurance advisers, including accounting from a project agreement perspective on our expenditure and everything we do. As internal auditors, we use PwC. Our external auditors are Grant Thornton. Where appropriate, we will pull in other advisers as is required, whether as technical advisers or financial advisers on different aspects of delivery of the project.
