Well, for your information Mr Director, I
they made representation
think the contractor through their lawyer to this Committee. They would like to appear before this Committee to explain their standpoint of view with regard to the Director of Audit's Report on Friday, the last session of this meeting, and I would certainly like to invite you -- not as a witness to this but as an observer on this particular subject.
CHAIRMAN:
Thank you.
Obviously this Committee will have some
questions to clarify with the contractor in this aspect, so we shall expect to see you Friday about
We will look at that

what time?
Well this concludes this morning's meeting of this
Thank you for appearing.
Yes.
We still have a couple of questions.

D of Ar. S:
I think the Government is in the course

of negotiating with the Urban Council for the recovery of this additional expenditure. The short answer is 'yes'.
