As the Deputy is aware contracts for the transfer of the site for the project in question have been signed.

In order for this transaction to formally close, the agreement of the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests is required. It is the responsibility of the vendor to refer the transfer contracts to the Commissioners. Accordingly, confirmation from the vendor's solicitor of the agreement of the Commissioners is still awaited.

The timing for the project proceeding to construction is dependent on the site transfer being completed.
