Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There is nothing wrong with a shared service like a lab or anything like that at all. It makes sense. You could not be building two of everything. The tracking and tracing of that back is much more fundamental and difficult. In all of the engagements that I have had in recent times where those types of issue arise, we have asked for greater clarity around any public utilisation of resource for private effort.
