That is great. I think having that in house would be hugely beneficial. The capacity exists to create a knowledge base and a skills base that will only assist the process. The more you do it, the quicker you will get at it. That is not to rush people through the process. There is the confidence the mediator will have as well. That is really welcome. I thank Mr. Newham for that.

My final question is about head 9. Does the board have an idea yet as to how the rules will be set? Will they be based on international best practice within the EU that is applicable here or will there be a separate process - say, through dialogue? How will the rules be set, and what will inform the setting of the rules?
