Chairman [Q246]

246.  Thank you very much, gentlemen. We have just published a report on the Royal Armouries and we used some fairly strong language about how we felt that the public sector client was naive in their handling of this matter. That was the point Mr Steinberg was making very powerfully to you. We are talking about contracts committed to a sum of £100 billion, this is an important subject. We are very grateful to you, Mr Gershon, Mr Busby, Mr Ryan, for coming here this afternoon. I am afraid when you come back you will have to learn the mannerisms of a mandarin, that when we keep repeating questions to you you have got to assume that they are all very intelligent questions.
(Mr Gershon) I will try harder next time.
Chairman: Thank you.
