And what's been demonstrated here is a level of exposure of property lending. And the lending ... that this was regularly commented upon in the GRPC ... and in December 2007 ... and it noted that 44% of all non-mortgage lending is into property. So there's sectoral concerns ... lending concerns in the particular sectors now developing. And when the figures for mortgage lending and property construction lending are amalgamated, the results are in or around 70% of the bank's entire loan book related to the property in one form or another. So given that level of overall lending which was property-related, should there have been a higher level of concern in the bank at the time?
