I thank the Chairman for facilitating me and thank the witnesses for their presentations. I have a few brief questions on water conservation and the information campaign on water charges. How were the public informed about water charges? Is there a continual education programme on water conservation?

The comments on district metering were interesting. It has been claimed that district meters are an effective tool for water conservation. Is water conservation down to households? How have households responded to measures that promote water conservation?

What is the average bill for water in Scotland and Wales? What is the level of water poverty in both jurisdictions? Have steps been taken to address the problem?
