Setas are not the only element that is going to be working on this. They are part of many mechanisms that are going to be put in place. Of course Setas have been there. I don't think it is correct to say that they have been a dismal failure. I think there has been a contribution made by Setas. There may be criticism of some aspects. But to say there has been a dismal failure does not present a correct picture. In so far as this very specific programme is concerned, they will also play a part. We did not think that we only needed to create other mechanisms and not deal with the Setas that are there already. It can then be detailed as to what needs to be done. Thank you, hon Speaker.
