Mr. Paul Benson:

It has improved things. The local authorities have actually had projects on which they are spending and they can draw down money. They are not hamstrung by an allocation that may not address that. Local authorities that do not have projects are not being given an allocation, so there is no uncertainty regarding whether a local authority will spend funding by the end of the year and it then it turning out that it will not spend the funding, which we could have given to another body. It is working better than the previous system.
