Okay. A topic that came up over the year on a couple of occasions is the issue of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. We have been told here that contingent liabilities do not really feature and that this is not a priority for the Department to include in the national balance sheet, and the Department is saying that EUROSTAT does not really get into it. However, what contingent liabilities are on the State balance sheet? Is that information in the report?
