Where could we see how that money was apportioned? I am not interested in the value-for-money aspect, though that is important. I would like to see where has that gone and where is it now to analyse the benefits of it and see whether it has been wisely used or apportioned to aid the sector. I would be very interested, and if BIM could facilitate the committee in accessing that information, we could look at it again. We need to see where that major investment has gone and how we are going to reap the fruits of all that. It is critical. I welcome all that and am not criticising it, but we should see stewardship and accountability on the amount Ms Bocquel's organisation was charged with administering. Would that be possible?
