What he said:

Member	July 2016
Mr M R Coleman	Mr Coleman: Thank you, Mr President. We seem to be being a bit distracted here with assertions that we will get the tramway between the War Memorial and the Sea Terminal, but actually when you read recommendation (5), what recommendation (5) actually says is that the business case for retaining the Tramway and the new combined facility of the site of either Strathallan tram depot or Derby Castle should continue to be evaluated during the operations in 2017 and 2018. What the result of that could be is a business case which says we are not going to keep it. Okay? That is what that says, and you know it says that, Minister. The Minister: That is not what the business case will say. (Laughter) Mr Coleman: Okay! So really, whether we vote now for extending from the War Memorial to the Sea Terminal is a bit moot, isn’t it? Because the 2017-18 business case decision could probably override the lot. I just put that in for your consideration, gentlemen. Thank you, Mr President.
