In 1999 you said you would stay on as Liberal Leader only for a further 2 years.

In June 2004 you told the BILLD group you would be acting as Council Leader in a temporary capacity for 6 months until December 2004.

Since then you have made regular announcements about being Council Leader for further periods shorter than the then current municipal year. Your latest departure day as Council Leader given by you to the BILLD group is a maximum of 3 months from May 2007.

For the purpose of clarity and for the avoidance of doubt when will you be retiring as Council Leader - in August 2007 or never?
