I would like to ask my second last question. People get really annoyed when self-evident truths are dismissed by spokespersons for energy companies. A spokesperson said on television there is no evidence that a pylon beside a house reduces the market value of the house, but that is evidently nonsense. I would like Mr. O'Connor to develop the point he made about recognising some means of dealing with property devaluations. If it is decided to pursue the overground option, it is inevitable that there will be pylons beside people's houses.
