On a related health issue, on which Mr. Treacy might have to come back to the committee as I do not expect him to be able to answer upfront, concern has been expressed in other countries about the materials used in the production of astroturf surfaces. It has been suggested they may possibly contain carcinogens.

Is that something you have looked at? In Holland, in particular, there has been a high profile case. Is it something that has come to your attention and is it something that you are pursuing?
