My last question is on the resources. Consider, for example, a lot of GIS mapping requirements and the evaluation of land, is there scope for this to be done regionally and to procure third-party assistance, but without each of the 31 local authorities trying to do its own one? Would it be a better use of resources, in a constrained market, to get somebody in? If we know the sites that are more likely to come on and where the demand is for housing and so on, would it be a better method? Would that relieve the local authorities in some way?
