Mr. Kevin Collins:

As I said before, there are a number of a reasons files could be kind of stuck there in terms of further information required; for example, we could be waiting for information to come back in. However, whenever we look at the cohort of files with a view to removing ones that appear to be defunct, we go through the process of contacting the applicants to see if they actually want to proceed with the file or not. I do not think we would be left with those types of applications in the system still standing there and being counted when, in fact, it is actually a file that is kind of gone or where the application is no longer going to advance.
