Ms Katherine Licken:

We have to develop out the schemes and we have not done so as yet. Certainly, the normal way we launch a scheme is to work through the local authorities, and that has been most successful. We ask the local authorities to come up with projects. The regional authorities will also have a role. I cannot say just yet exactly how the schemes will operate, but suffice it to say there will be funding for regional development.
