I am glad to hear it is to happen shortly because my concern is we will wait until we are made. I will ask Mr. Armstrong to comment on the issue of light. I was a little concerned he mentioned the building regulations would not have to be reviewed until 2025. Surely we should start to review the building regulations in respect of these areas earlier given the impetus of our own carbon budgets. We may have to come back to the question of the baseline, but will Mr. Armstrong address the issue of light and then, very briefly, another key issue he had mentioned, namely, fire safety?
