On that, in my experience, I have seen a number of developers operating that way, whereby at any one time they have between 40 and 50 different companies on the go and they use a different one for each planning application, which means accountability is a real issue if something goes wrong. I would be very interested to hear the answer to that question.

I have one short question on this section. During the previous discussion the Minister said the provision in the existing legislation has probably been used on one occasion. Has that been where the building of public areas of the development have not been up to scratch? Has the provision in the existing legislation ever been used with respect to the non-completion of public areas to the standards required in the planning permission? That is a huge issue right across the country in a number of developments that have been built in recent decades. Has this provision ever been used in that context?
