I want just to pursue this issue of what the land is fit for. You talked about longer term development and you talked about family housing and so forth. We had a meeting of [the Assembly's] Budget and Performance Committee a couple of weeks ago and the LDA, when pressed about the debt, said that a fair chunk of the debt actually will still sit in the LDA's books to pay off the bills for the remediation so the issue of remediation then came up. Could I therefore just be clear what your understanding of the condition of the land...

): Are we at the section of the meeting where we are asking more general questions? I wanted to come back to somewhere close to where we started, informed by the discussion we have had.
