May I start with a specific question, primarily to Ofgem, after which I shall broaden it to a slightly larger issue? Suggestions have been made that Ofgem’s remit should be changed, specifically to give it an environmental role or to deal with social tariffs. Would you let us know how you think that would work? Is it possible to have two primary duties, or do you think that there should be only one primary duty and a range of secondary duties?
