Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There is not only a plan, there has already been a reduction. There are three categories of consultants that we use. One is for information technology and developing the digitalisation, one is for experts in major building projects, and one is for general management consulting. The expenditure in general management consulting since I first reduced it has now probably reduced by close to half at this stage.
