Mr. Joe Hamill:
Clearly I must be neutral on that. I believe there are one or two other cities and areas who are thinking of putting forward bids as well. In terms of value for money, we have just signed off on an approach to carry out an initial ex posteevaluation of the year so we will be working with the council. We are going to use the criteria the European City of Culture uses as our basis for getting that up and running. I am not saying it will be the only evaluation we will do but it will be an initial evaluation.
