(Sir John Vereker) The fee rate is an industry standard set at five per cent so in a sense this tendering is about the quality of the service and the reliability of the service and its ability to cope with things such as we had in Kosovo with the complex nature of the operation[3].
(Sir John Vereker) The standard in the industry, as I understand it, and I stand to be corrected by my colleagues, is that an air broker receives commission of five per cent from the charter company.
(Sir John Vereker) I believe it is the same five per cent but you are making, if I may say so, an extremely good point and I will go away and check it and let the Committee know[4].

The point I am trying to make, Sir John, which I was trying to make right at the very beginning was, you signed a contract in the middle of the conflict when it was very, very expensive because you were paying a lot of money.
