Dr. Paul McGowan:

The Deputy has made a valid point about unmetered premises. We have said in the past that we will always have premises that are unmetered because they cannot be accessed for technical reasons. We did not get around to looking at those specific premises when we were delivering the first phase of the metering programme, which targeted the original 80% of premises. We had flagged that we would have to look at the parameters for future phases of metering and how we might access this cohort of premises. We have not initiated any particular work in that regard.
