From the numbers I have seen, I do not think the Deputy's concern is warranted. As the numbers are not confirmed, I do not want to put them into the public domain until we have them. We have done more with HAP than was intended. We have also done more in other areas as well. It is not a question of exceeding 21,000 but being well down, although we are above that in other areas. It is a management process as well. Sometimes opportunities for acquisitions will come up from a bank, for example, which we will take. The Deputy will see clearly where we are when the numbers are published.
