That&#8217;s absolutely critical because there&#8217;s no point in culling numbers from an individual who has borrowed on the back of a huge financial commitment on the back of achieving a certain target that&#8217;s taken from under him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We should be investing in an infrastructure that can deliver from a scientific perspective.
