I’m grateful for that answer. Could the Cabinet Secretary set out the criteria by which he will arrive at his final recommendation to the Cabinet? I understand his demand of a 50 per cent or less Government guarantee and named investor term sheets has already been met. The external due diligence they referred to has covered a wide range of areas: economic impact, fit-and-proper-person test and various other issues. He’s presumably now seen that due diligence. Can he say if it’s identified any major issues that are a cause for concern? Does he now have an independently verified figure for job creation, and can he tell us what it is? Has the project been subject to any other review, external or internal, of which he has not previously informed us? And given that we’ve had six years of deliberation on this project, can the Cabinet Secretary assure us that when he gets up next week it will be a case of not another delay or a deferral with a further change, potentially, in the Government’s evaluation criteria, but a final and definitive decision in relation to this project?
