Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

The programme is in reasonable shape at mid-year review position.  WEB007 and WEB008 are both scheduled to deliver soon, although they have eperienced some delays.  It is important that WEB009 is planned as soon as posible given the effort to complete this financial year.  For that reason, the programme is shown as AMBER this month.

Overall Programme RAG: AMBER
