In other words, the contracts are being allowed to continue. I take it that is what that means.

Brian Stanley: The cost of connection fees is an area I have flagged. I have also flagged the delays in getting connections, the cost of taking estates in charge and the fact that some of that is being held up and local authorities are left to carry with the baby without any funding to do it. Those are issues.
