Mr. Aidan Dunning:
In terms of the petroleum service in subhead E1, the spend on that is to support the regulatory effort we have to do in this area. For instance, we have to carry out strategic environmental assessments, which would have to be paid out of that particular subhead. Some of the money we spend out of the fund, which I mentioned already, comes in through this subhead. It is a path through. It comes in as appropriation-in-aid and goes out as a spend under this subhead. If we were spending on a seismic survey, that would be part of subhead E1. Subhead E2 concerns spending on mining services.
