To widen the issue away from bashing the Welsh trusts, how about the cosying up between units and utilities - we have had a number of pipeline jobs in our area that we never see a tender for. And is the OA/WA collaboration over the airports strictly fair play? (thats a real question, by the way, not a rhetorical one). Is it ever acceptable (legality aside) for a major developer to have a favoured contractor?
