I do not think what happened to the fees four or five years ago has had an impact. What has had a big impact is the policy in the Department of Finance, which is to publish practically everything. We keep putting up on the website the kind of data that, historically, was requested under freedom of information. A lot of the queries come from journalists and, as the information is on the website, they do not have to get it under FOI. That would be the big change.
