The Minister of State has been doing a good deal of work on this exciting project and it is progressing very well from what we have heard. He said in his reply that he expects to receive a report in the summer. Does that mean we can expect to see it in July or is it more likely to be in August or September? Do we know what that report will look like? Will it be one that will say "Yes, we are going for the bid" or "No, we are not going for the bid" or can we assume that we are going for the bid and that this report will be something of a roadmap as to how we get there? Do we know what the next stages will be if that is the conclusion of the report? What will then happen to the committee that has been established?

As the committee will have the knowledge about this, will it make the formal bid or will it be made by another body?
