8. I know in any case what I WOULDN'T do.

I wouldn't call in a lot of 'outside experts' from the business world to review the spending of the various departments. I doubt that people like that will do this out of the kindness of their hearts. Goodness knows what their bill will come to.

If I did choose to do all this, at least one 'expert' that I would *not* select is the former chairman of BP! Yes, I realize that the current disaster didn't happen under Lord Browne's watch; but it doubtless reflects a corner-cutting, penny-wise-pound-foolish, risk-taking culture that has been operating in that company for some time.
