Government Operations committee  I have read some of the evidence in the past that Shereen Miller has given. She talked about how a large percentage of contracts go to SMEs already. In the case of the shipbuilding and repair industry, I can tell you that on the west coast, one large multinational does about 80% of the work.

Government Operations committee  Thank you very much. You've received my past submission. I have further evidence in the document in front of me, which I will forward to the committee. I would like to talk about some parts of this evidence, as I do not want to be long-winded, and I would like to entertain any concerns you may have about my past evidence and about what I am about to say.
