There were set criteria to get onto the scheme. This is why the research element was crucially important. It was not just about the money but about doing really detailed analysis and research. We had the first report on that before Christmas and a stakeholder forum about it. We will see more reports coming out. I brought that report to my Cabinet colleagues to let them know how successful it is so far. That is where the research will really help to shape this if it is to be rolled out, which I hope it is.
