The point I was making in my previous answer, which perhaps was not sufficiently articulated, was that we do not feel that the management data are as yet sufficiently robust, but I can keep the House updated on when such information might be available.
Baroness Barker (LD)

Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, as I said, those data are not published, so I cannot give the noble Baroness an answer at this time.
