The Minister may be about to deal with my point. The supplementary fund, together with the original fund, will amount to £600 million, but the cost of the Prestige damage was £700 million. Even with the new arrangements, it would appear that, in the event of a repetition of that incident or an incident on the same scale, the fund would not cover it.
