Mr. Richard Collins:

I will answer that question. As I said earlier, we carry provisions. Given the nature of this investigation, which is complex, we do not really know where it will go at the end of the day and it is difficult to make a very specific provision. We are carrying general provisions. In terms of making them specific and linking them to individuals, that is not possible at the moment. The process has to work its way through and the scope investigation has to finish before we can do that.
