Now that we have cleared that up, Mr. Fraser will understand the point I am making about the majority of the money being spent on the launch. The whole point of having a consultation period is to hear from individuals and get the message out there that this is actually being done. If a small fraction of the money is spent on that element of it and the lion's share of the money is spent on publicising it, it suggests that this was more about spin than about spending the money to make sure people knew in the first instance that this was happening.
