The spend has improved considerably up to the end of August. Most of the underspend is in capital and many of the capital projects take place during the summer months. A large amount of work takes place at that stage, so I expect there will be much more money spent in the latter half of the year. As we go into the months of October and November, the capital spend will increase considerably.
