Representatives from the Commission for Regulation of Utilities appeared before the committee yesterday. I asked a question about health and safety. Interestingly, Mr. O'Loughlin has said that in the UK, if a health and safety issue arises in work an employee could go to Ofgem, the equivalent British regulator. The CRU's representatives said yesterday that it does not have a direct safety function within the ESB. If someone has a complaint he or she should go to the Health and Safety Authority, HSA.
