I thank the Deputy. That is exactly what is under way at the moment. The value of a procurement framework is it provides an overall framework within which public bodies should have consistent standards for being able to procure services or goods and it is of help in making procurement processes work more efficiently. For that reason, we are now looking at the roll-out, as I said a moment ago, of a procurement roadmap for these various technologies. I would be happy to find more exact timings on it for the Deputy as there is great potential in it and the Deputy obviously agrees.
