Mr. David Moloney:
No, we would not. As I have said this morning, capital projects, particularly major capital projects, take a long time to plan and execute. There is no reason the timeline for their planning and execution could not run alongside the timeline for ensuring value for money. In fact, we believe that by specifying the project properly at the start and planning it properly at the start, the chance of getting it on time and on budget is much higher.
