I thank the hon. Lady for that. It sounds as if that may be an issue she needs to take up with her local authority, if it is not able to provide enough computers. I wonder which party runs her local authority. More seriously, it is worth reminding the Committee that this resource is usually accessed by companies rather than individuals. In most cases, the difficulties that she has highlighted will not arise, and of course  copies can be requested directly from Ofgem. Again, it is worth putting on the record the fact that in the past five years no one has sought to access this record.
