Mr. Peter Walsh:
I will correct that. It was not a range of options. It was what was likely to happen across a range of outcomes in terms of the consumer price index. We were saying that inflation was obviously high, but until such time as the published figure came out in September we could not say specifically what it was. The request was to give a range of what the likely outcomes would be. We gave a range from 8.4% up to below 11% and what the impact would be across all of those. That was the figure provided. I will go back to the first part of the question on whether TII should have allowed the PPP companies go to the maximum toll allowed.
