Mr. Brian Murphy:

Absolutely. If the rest of the European PPP market is very competitive and there is a large number of projects in the pipeline, it will be very interesting to see the pattern of migration of capital. My colleague, Mr. Burgess, and I are watching what is happening in Scotland very closely. We visited Scotland a couple of weeks ago to attend a major seminar held by Scottish Futures and it was very interesting to talk to investors who are all very enthusiastic about the project pipeline, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
