Yes, it is not the ideal for anybody.

In the initial presentation, reference was made to solar panels and retrofitting and fuel poverty. The latter is a real issue here and, God knows and God forbid, with what is happening in the world at the moment could become a shocking issue. Can the witnesses comment on how the retrofitting of Traveller houses fits into the overall retrofitting situation? Is there positive discrimination? How does this work? How are councils getting on with retrofitting? I ask because retrofitting would be really significant even without the worst case scenario with the oil situation but in present-day conditions.
