Dr. Paul McGowan:

We have just recently received sign off of our financial statements for 2016 from the Comptroller and Auditor General, so we would expect to submit our 2016 annual report within a very short number of weeks. We will forward that to the committee as soon as it is available.

We would be happy to forward the work programme to the committee. That is not a problem. We have concluded an oversight agreement with the Department, very much along the lines that it has concluded them with other regulators. Again, we would be happy to forward that on to the committee. It is very much a statement of our regulatory functions, recognising the independence of the CRU as an independent sectoral regulator.
