I propose to take Questions Nos. 147 and 148 together.

In relation to the roll-out of the metering programme, the procurement process and measures to address leakage, I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 6, 7, 17 and 30 on today's Order Paper. It would be inappropriate to release estimates of the cost of the metering programme in advance of the completion of the on-going procurement process.
