I only have two questions and I will not take the full seven minutes. The opening statement's section on enforcement notes that it is a specialist area. I agree with that and with looking at the merit of having specialist teams on a regional basis to try to build that expertise in the area. Is consideration being given to having some sort of national office that could resource that? That could be the National Building Control and Market Surveillance Office or something like that. If not that, one of the key issues that others have touched on is that local authorities sometimes lack staff resources and expertise, as well as sometimes lacking the wherewithal to take court cases. If some of that could be resourced nationally or on a regional basis, it would strengthen this. Is that under consideration?
