EMAIL DETAILS

Just talked to Andrew who said that the revised letter we will see should have no reference to a “number” of what we owe so that should be good. Also thought that the language around what we can say for a press inquiry should be acceptable. He said Stefan was insisting on a number but Nick and Andrew convinced him it was unnecessary.
