^{In a way this is startling - although when did you last see a brand new narrowboat fitted with a new Lister engine? I thought that they still had a strong market in the sea-going craft sector and in industrial applications. The report gives strong hints about mismanagement. It stops short of stating that money was leaving via the back door, but one might perhaps infer this from reading it.}
