That leads to my next question. I will return to Ms MacEvilly's response regarding the notion that putting people on the best tariff for them will increase the price, if everybody is on the best tariff. That is what she said earlier. How do we then ensure that everybody is on the best tariff, if she is saying that we cannot put everybody on such a tariff because it will increase the price? That earlier response does not stack up because the CRU's entire remit, under response 22 in the framework, is to ensure that customers are on the best tariff. How does Ms MacEvilly address that point? Is she saying that if everybody is on the best tariff, even if they select it themselves, we will see a price increase?
