We might consider the sports capital programme at a future date. It is, I hope, very cost-effective, but I do not know if we have ever looked at the process by which it is operated or the application process or conducted an analysis of the outcomes. The programme has been ongoing for a significant period of time. I do not expect to go back forever in time, but perhaps we might look at how it has operated in the last few years or the last two allocations. By the time we do so, the next allocations will have been made. Perhaps we might look at that allocation and the one before it. I want to examine the process by which the progamme is operated and the changes that have been made which have been significant in the past few years, as well as the outcomes. I have seen an awful lot achieved with small amounts of money, but we need to see how projects that receive larger sums are performing. It is an issue to which we might come in the future.
