I suspect that such contractual matters are, to a large extent, confidential. I have been told by lawyers who specialise in such matters that the concern exists. I am not making these remarks in a hostile or aggressive way, but further inquiry by the House about such costs would be worth while. At this point, one cannot realistically say that a particular contract will incur a liability, but I would be grateful if the Government were to shed light on that.
