I have one other slightly new question. It has been raised before but I have not seen it come from the CCPC very recently. When a phone company or whatever starts to go onto a standard electricity tariff after 12 months, it is being penalised for being a loyal customer. We had a Private Members' Bill, the Consumer Protection (Loyalty Penalty and Customer Complaints) Bill 2021, that did not get past Second Stage because the Government did not move it on. Has the CCPC been having any conversations with Government representatives about making progress in that regard through some sort of related legislation?
