My question was a slightly different one. Do any of the Minister of State's officials actually know off the top of their heads the number of SPPRs? Perhaps they could share it with us. If they do not have that information to hand, then do not worry about it. I could not expect everybody to remember the total number. My question was a different one. The legislation, if it passes as is, obviously means the SPPRs continue in force as they were prior to the legislation passing, but there is a mechanism by which SPPRs can be subject to the desire of the Minister and approval of the Government. They can become national planning policy statements. Has any work been done or has it been initiated with the Department to go through that list of SPPRs and prioritise for decision which become national planning policy statements and which are to be ditched?
