Ms Maria Graham:

I might ask Ms Clifford to come in on the project appraisal board. We run a number of tests across it and that is one of them. That is one of the reasons why we would now be talking about the move from competitive bidding, which has worked very well for authorities that have projects thought about and developed, to working with local authorities to bring projects forward. For authorities that perhaps have not quite got to that stage, rather than having them keep submitting projects that do not meet the criteria, we work with them to bring a project to fruition.
