We have dealt with LNG. I am asking about a very simple and basic thing: the anchor system. That is not a new technology. Why was it wrong?

Again, there is an understanding about LNG being a new technology, and I have heard what you just said about getting it right to begin with. However, anchors are not new technology, so why is it that the anchor mechanisms have to be looked at once again?

When did you become aware that it was not the right kit?

Why did none of your predecessors recognise that it was not the right kit?

In that case, do you share my opinion?

Maybe Mr Miller, as the chair, can talk about some of your predecessors.

You also mentioned a difficulty earlier on, which was—to use your phrase—“passive resistance”. Did you mean passive resistance to change, or was it that people have been driven from pillar to post during the course of all that has been going on?

Previous witnesses have suggested that there could be a connection between land management plans and local place plans in meeting communities’ needs. What do you think about that, gentlemen?

We have the LNG complication, but we also have the complication of not getting a simplistic system right. Is that correct?

I am interested in what Mr Petticrew said about design—or lack of design. Is the fact that the design was not there the major failure of the project?
