Mr. Peter Evans:

Deputy Murphy is correct. Not only would the wholesale and retail elements have to be separate but, within the wholesale area, the commercial and non-commercial parts of the organisation would be also. The MANs are a public asset and need to be managed by a body with a transparent and distant relationship with the commercial organisation.
