Good morning. I would like to look at some of the issues around new cases. The key element is that you anticipate that new registration cases will be dealt with within 35 days. First, when you talk about new registrations, does that include dealings with whole and transfers of part?

I will come back to your bespoke timescales in a second, but the target means that, over the next five years, you do not expect to deal with new cases within the period that you anticipate, and therefore surely you will go into arrears because of the ones that are not picked up. For the next five years, you will be treading water.

It is not correct.
At the pre-qualification questionnaire stage, did FMEL explicitly state that it could not provide the full BRG, which was a requisite for shortlisting to the ITT stage?

Was there nothing specifically unusual in taking legal advice as to whether you were obliged to pay the milestone payments?
