Yes, it is possible for me to do so. There is no conflict between the Department and the Office of Public Works, which have a good working relationship. There is, however, competition for resources on all fronts. A specific and complex problem, which goes beyond the initial incident when stairs collapsed, has arisen in the Natural History Museum. The project in that case will be substantial and will be completed over the next few years.
