We will continue with some of the issues that we were discussing earlier. I have a question for Mr. Devine on the issue with the windows. We have established there is a centralised system and if there is a fire, the windows would have to close automatically. We have established that, in some places, scaffolding might have to be put up to go the whole way up the six storeys. Mr. Devine said that, in some places, there are bridges and supporting mechanisms so it would not be needed for those parts. We do not want to get too technical about it because we are not technical people. As I understand it, it is a computerised system. Is that correct?
