I thank our guests for making themselves available this morning. My major concern on this is the commitment of the funding over a ten-year period. I am also concerned as to why there was an urgency in the letter that it had to be signed off on by 30 March. Is there a particular reason it had to be signed off by the end of March this year, before there was any real full authorisation? Perhaps some clarification could be given on that.
