Mr. William Parnell:

I was going to finish by answering that question. At the beginning of the year, the Minister drew up a calendar of schemes, which he shared with the local authorities. He also met the chief executive officers to discuss it. We may need to think about how we can go a step further in order that local communities will have access to the calendar at an early stage. We recognised the need for the local authorities to be able to cope with schemes throughout the year.
