Obviously you have not given us figures so, to a certain extent, we have got to conjecture what they are but, say, the cost of the Stadium in your budget is £250 million - I do not know if that figure is correct or not - and then you discover that, lo and behold, now £300 million is the true cost. Does that extra £50 million come from the contingency? What happens about that?

OK. You have this series of different projects, all with their own budgets within the overall budget, and you are going to put a series of contracts out to tender. Supposing, on the first one of those, you have a budget that says it is £250 million, but the cheapest cost comes in at £300 million. Does that mean the £50 million will come from the contingency fund, or does it have a knock on effect on the other budgets?
