I wish to put a final supplementary question relating to a response from the project manager for the Grid West project to a constituent of yours, Chairman. He said the project was funded by direct payments from wind developers as well as the bills of the electricity users. Could we get a breakdown of the figures relating to what the wind developers are paying towards this project? Then we will know how much the billpayer will have to contribute. Seeing as the billpayers are contributing, surely they have a right to reject or accept a pylon which they believe to be too close to their home or which could possibly devalue their property. Is that not so?
