I thank the Minister for coming. Progress to date has been laborious, and that is probably an understatement. It is difficult to see how anything has happened and whose interests are being protected in this approach. Is it the interests of companies or people who use telecoms? Has any initiative been taken to get companies talking to each other, as that will ultimately be required? It would be frustrating to attend a meeting with effectively no agenda, no identified issues and where questions will not be addressed and no discussion, effectively, will be had. I call into question the purpose of the meeting. What can the Minister do to ensure more progress in the area?

Is it in order to refer to the Minister's letter to the committee from 19 March regarding the Energy Council meeting in Brussels on 4 March 2014?
