Yes, I am looking for some additional information. We know the contractors have been passing premises. People can take the broadband if they wish. However, we would have expected, for example, public buildings, schools, libraries and hubs to have been connected. Can we ask about specifically about those types of buildings in the intervention area, which are non-domestic and non-firm buildings but are public buildings such as schools, libraries and hubs? What are the numbers that are passed and the numbers that are connected? Also, are they included in terms of targets and timelines or are they just geographic?
