Great explanation, but it doesn’t give me much comfort. I didn’t really hear that there are any enforcement capabilities, and it’s something that concerns me, particularly in a number of areas as devolution comes forward. We’ve got a lot of operating mines, for instance, which, as we’ve heard over the last couple of weeks, don’t have adequate security for their closure plans, and this sounds to me like it’s similar. We’re going to have a regulator who makes a decision, but will the regulator be using somebody to determine that the amount of money that’s declared is accurate and is appropriate, and if we don’t get the money from the company, who’s going to make sure that we get it?
