I still have concerns in relation to that, because I think the complexity of it is the thing that stops people moving and choosing a tariff. For the most part, they just want to know what is cheapest. Ultimately, that is what most people who contact me want to know. I was concerned at a statement that was made earlier, which was that we are just at the start of the work in relation to smart meters. It is due for implementation by quarter 4 of this year, and the CRU is the lead organisation on that. Is it on target to have all of this smart metering, these apps and so on and so forth, implemented on time? If there are 1 million people with smart meters, is the CRU confident those 1 million people will have the information they need to be able to choose the best tariff by the end of this year?
