I might perhaps come at it from a different philosophical and ideological viewpoint in that I do not think the State should intervene only when the market fails. It could have intervened much more robustly. Perhaps it is because we left the market to deal with the issue for too long that we are in this mess. Notwithstanding that, arguably the 300,000 households that were more commercially viable were taken from the 800,000. Did that leave the tendering process for the remaining 542,000 households more complicated and less attractive?
