I will try to deal with the Deputy's prime question on energy supports. Those electricity credits have been well timed and well placed. They particularly have helped families in default or at risk of default and not able to pay their bills. Each time they have kicked in, we have seen a dramatic drop in the number of families at most stress. Therefore, it has been exactly the right measure.

By contrast, at the time there was talk about all sorts of weird caps which were completely uncertain and would not have delivered functional support. The energy credit has not been the only one. It has come with all the other measures - about 12 by my count. We need to wean off those and do it in a balanced way, subject to what happens in the war.
