HR ROVLANDS:

SIR DAVID VILSON:
Mr Rowlando, what I am trying to suggest is that in
doing this we have got to keep an eye on how it will
achieve continuity. Not necessarily that if we went
faster than we are going at the moment that that would be
torn down, I simply do not believe that that is the case
but trying to keep one eye on the question of continuity.
