I will answer the last question first. The humanitarian relief scheme is a flood relief scheme for businesses. It is a new scheme in my Department and is demand-led. Thank God, we have not had any serious flooding incidents this year but it is for those businesses that run into difficulties and need assistance. The funding will come from my Department and although there is nothing in it yet, it is demand-led and I have a commitment that, should the necessity arise, the funding will be made available.
