Mr. Noel Regan:

I will respond on behalf of my colleagues while recognising that some of those matters are outside our division's work.

We are finalising the security of supply review. That looks at several issues, including the report by Mr. Dermot McCarthy, the public consultation and the technical analysis. It is looking at oil. We are finalising that, and it should be coming quite soon.

On the EU gas package, we will have to prepare legislation. We hope it will be done in July. It is hoped that the EU can agree it, which will mean we can begin that work after the summer. The hydrogen strategy is due shortly, as I understand it, and that involves another range of issues. The biomethane strategy is being prepared by our Department and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, so that involves another range of issues. The Commission for Regulation of Utilities, CRU, is doing a call for evidence right now on large energy users, so there is a whole host of work under way. I would say, in a broad sense, that after the summer there should be some very relevant discussions to be had on these matters.
