In business one has to project for the future. In ten to 15 years' time, does Mr. Slye think that when England builds five new plants they will be bothered about taking electricity from us? They have kicked wind energy to touch. If we have an interconnector with France, does Mr. Slye think that we can compete? We have had meetings here to talk about energy security throughout Europe. In a business frame of mind, does Mr. Slye think it would be produced in England and France a lot cheaper than here, given the investment we have to put in?
