I thank the Minister of State. Are the 2012 outputs agreed? Agreed. Are the 2013 outputs and targets agreed? Agreed. Are the 2012 contexts and impact indicators agreed? Agreed. I will make a note on the amendment to the impact indicators.
On programme B, national procurement service, NPS, subheads B1 and B2, administration, are there any comments or questions? On subhead B3, Government publication service, are there any comments or questions? I come to subhead B4, the procurement service, which is given a headline increase of 89%, from €1.190 million to €2.260 million, an increase of more than €1 million. There is another figure contained for the non-pay section showing that the administration cost is moving from €330,000 to €957,000, an almost threefold increase. Will the Minister of State give some indication on these figures?
