Catherine Murphy: My time is limited. I am not sure that the statement made by Mr. Spratt gets to the point I am trying to get to, which is whether we own any assets or assisted in purchasing any assets. He might provide us with a note on this because we are limited on time. Do we own any assets?

The output, in terms of direct builds, is woefully inadequate and below what has been announced.
