Well, there's certainly a lack of activity in terms of communicating what you're doing to anybody in the world at all. But the point I'd like to make is that, quite often, and it's one of the lessons from Ynni'r Fro, a great deal of Government time is spent arguing over proposals with other parts of the public sector. And what is required from Government is to ensure that Government not only sets the lead, delivers some of the seed funding that is required in order to do this, but also ensures that you don't have public money being spent on two sets of barristers arguing with each other over a single application. And Government could take a real lead in that.
