I have a technical question. The Minister said that if there is difficulty with one of the funders of a PPP there is no exposure to the State. Are there indirect costs that could accrue? For example, if there is a slow down in the construction of housing is there a cost to the State if it is paying housing supports and in the case of schools if it is renting prefabs? Is that an indirect cost that could accrue to the State or is that factored into the risk and the insurance policies?
