If there was an officer in every county council whose role was to advise people in social housing or with HAP tenancies on their best electricity usage and what plan was best for them, such an initiative would be incredibly powerful as it does not involve the building of infrastructure and a lot of good jobs would be created but they would take time.

I wish to ask one last question and I might join a second round of questions. I worry about people with HAP tenancies. They are very difficult to reach. Whatever about the simple approach of applying energy credits, which does reach them, there is not a great incentive for landlords to upgrade their properties. These tenants qualify for social housing and the associated income limits. When I talk about people whom it will be difficult to reach and difficult to make them feel they are part of this energy transition, the people in HAP tenancies are the ones who stand out. Is that being examined as a specific challenge and are ways to reach those people being examined?
