I would rather the State control its gas reserve. That is the decision Government has taken. It is better if it is in State hands. We or a future Government would decide when that was no longer required and what we could do with it. It is a significant cost. I would put it that it is a considerable investment and a significant part of that would be reusable for other activities, like offshore renewables.
