We didn’t even know such a document existed, and it’s fascinating to see the differences between the draft document and the final agreement that led to the formation of Beaumont.”

The recently completed work included soundproofing and changes to the seating in the chamber. Ames’ office will contest the suit, due to be heard on 15 October.
