There is obviously potential for expansion there, rather than having facilities dotted all over the place. You might come back to me with that other information when you have it.

As regards the national children's science museum, going back to 2008, I understand the operating income was likely to be trading income of 50%, philanthropy of 11% and government support of 39%. Is that ratio still what is being considered? Would the museum pay rent, for example? If it gets a core building, does it have to pay the rent? Would that be part of the business case, or would there be the potential of a risk in terms of state aid if there is competition?
