I accept the point about the time-limited nature of “project”, but I was also asking about geographical spread, because a “project” could be interpreted as referring only to a particular area. If there were an initiative that involved projects in several different areas which depended on an input of consultancy from the agency, and that were interpreted as going beyond the remit because it was not a single project, but a series of projects in different areas, might that be a problem? I ask only because I want to be quite certain that this will not prove unduly restrictive as an interpretation. I entirely accept all the points my hon. Friend has made, but I would ask him to give a little further thought to the question of geographic spread, and to whether a number of different projects might fall foul of the definition.
