Mention was made of contractors. I understand it is difficult to get work done or completed in the construction sector now. This will obviously feed into some of the problems with the retrofitting scheme. Regarding the one-stop shops, which is basically 12 companies, has a significant effort been made to try to get in other contractors? These companies sublet the work. They bring in subcontractors. Has an effort been made, therefore, to increase the number of subcontractors involved?
