Mr. Joseph Nugent:
It was a capital possibility to enable us to bring forward certain payments. It is consultancy but it is related to the delivery of product. It reflected a slowdown in making other capital payments. Within the flexibility provided to us, this was one area where we could make some provision and some payments. For example, if there was a slowdown in building capital costs which were going to occur early in 2018, this was dealt with within the allocation that is available to us for savings.
