Mr. David Delaney:
We have a very clear system of due diligence. All contracts are provided to companies with a Companies Registration Office number and have gone through that process. I outlined the inspections regime we have as well. We have a system of oversight and we have a system of control when people are entering our process. We have a system of control when contracts are being renewed. One of the findings in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report was to focus on providers that had experience of providing accommodation in this sector. It is only normal that some companies and some individuals with experience will help to do this well and do it quickly.
