That would be great. My understanding is that it went up by 10% between November and July. I want to see if that is continuing, so if the witnesses could find those figures, it would be useful. Energy costs are a huge discussion at the moment because so many people are struggling. We have more than 300,000 households struggling significantly with them and we are seeing a lot of the retailers now putting up their prices. I know that is because there are grid costs as well. On average, how much should household bills have gone up by due to the infrastructure needs that the CRU approved over the last year?
