Mr. Graham Doyle:
I suppose if there was a way to negotiate with a single landlord or a small number of landlords to apply the strength one would have in spending that amount of money, yes, one would be able to get potentially more value for money. Unfortunately, in the case of HAP, one is dealing with 31,000 landlords and in the case of RAS, it is about 8,000 landlords.
