We get an annual report, which has a significant breakdown of detail regarding how the funding is spent and the returns for that. Then we have the strength and health of the sector. The horse racing sector has been performing really strongly in terms of jobs and economic output. Likewise, we have seen an uptick in the strength of the greyhound sector and greyhound racing too, which has been positive to see. We get annual reports and there would be ongoing engagement. With regard to the structures of both organisations, their remits are to support and develop their sectors, and they have significant input from stakeholders. There are various committees and board members too who inform how best to allocate the funding and get the strongest impact. They will report on that on an ongoing basis as well as through their annual reports.
