Mr. Colin Bray:

Our revenue streams commercially are leasing of spatial information. As the national mapping agency we maintain the national spatial database, the topographic database. We create products and services from that and they would be in relation to mapping, with which the Deputy may be familiar, tourism and leisure maps and hill-walking maps, but primarily the use of our data would be the use of digital information. That is under a contract term whereby we maintain the data and supply data under that contract term.
