Mr. Douglas Millican:
On the fairness question, if I take the example of an elderly couple in a larger house, they have a choice. They can either pay on the basis of the unmeasured charges I have been largely describing or they can choose to have a meter fitted and then be charged on a meter basis. That option is still open to them but it is a function of how effective we have managed to make our unmeasured charging system work that only 600 out of 2.4 million customers have chosen to go down that route.
