I appreciate what the hon. Gentleman is saying about the difficulty of setting a market rate. However, if I understand his modifications correctly, no rate will be set. Is there not a danger that if the matter is left to individual electricity companies, they will set a tariff for buying microcell electricity that is too low to make any difference to the supplier? By removing the clause and inserting the new clause, is the hon. Gentleman not reversing the problem back to the microgenerator?
