May I explore that a bit further? Are you saying that you believe that the nuclear installations inspectorate does not have sufficient numbers of skilled people to assess reactor proposals of the types that are being submitted to them? And is it a general view within the industry that, if it wanted to invest in and build nuclear, there is enough information out there to make decisions on the cost of carbon, the waste disposal regime and the assessment procedures?
