Good morning. Why did CBC purchase the shipyard in 2014? You mentioned to Richard Leonard that Alex Salmond would phone you if businesses were in difficulty. Did you have any discussions with the Scottish Government or Scottish ministers prior to purchasing the shipyard? If so, what was the nature of those discussions?

You mentioned the spec to Willie Coffey. Was the spec that CMAL issued at the start of the contract adequate or not?

Had you not taken the contract for the two vessels, did you have enough work at the yard to make it viable? Would you have survived if you had not taken that contract?

You mentioned FMEL’s inability to provide the full refund guarantee even though that was in the invitation to tender. Why did you bid for the contract for 801 and 802 when the invitation to tender said that you had to provide a BRG?

Was that the extent of the discussion? Was it just about having a look, or was there any detailed discussion?

Were there any incentives from the Scottish Government or from ministers for you to buy the company?

The audit report said that, because you had not mentioned the BRG in your bid, it was assumed that you could provide one, and it was not until the negotiation stage that CMAL realised that. At what point did CMAL or Transport Scotland know? Was it just the minister at the time or Stuart McMillan who knew?
