Mr. John Conlon:

Again, to go back to the point I made on the lack of capital funding to buy, we do enter long-term leases. These are modern, purpose-built, effective buildings from a climate perspective. This is a very large building that will accommodate up to 1,500 Civil Service and Government employees. We are getting out of less effective leases, so it provides value on that basis. It meets all the requirements that we need to meet in terms of having modern, effective, climate-friendly, energy-efficient buildings.
