We need to watch the time. A couple of folk want to ask a quick supplementary question. I ask that you try to keep things tight, because we need to ask the rest of the questions.

Okay. We have covered that issue. It was a useful discussion. That was in response to a supplementary question; I invite Karen Adam to ask her substantive question.

Mr Clark, can I just say that I do not know who the person you are talking about is, so we should probably not be using their name.

We are approaching the end of the time that we had allocated for the session, but I have taken the decision to extend it by half an hour. I hope that folk are okay with that.

Maggie Chapman has a very quick supplementary question on the point that has just been made.

I think that the answer that we have had is that the situation will not change, because people are not asked for a GRC right now. However, Jen Ang may wish to say a little bit more.
