Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
One issue there might be the scale of operation. Even a small unit within the UK would be significantly larger than the basic unit here. That idea of being able to break down procurement into lots makes sense and probably contributes to more recirculation of money in the economy. It is quite a technical and specialist area. I think the OGP would be best positioned to assist the committee with a discussion of that.
