Okay. Let's, if I may, Mark, just use your question -- just to talk about this issue for a second. Affordability is a real issue. It's not a joke. It's a serious issue, but it's only one of the issues that we clearly have to address. Reliable energy supplies is equally a very important issue, not just for the consumers, but also for the economy. And of course, we've got our desire to ever progressively clean up the mix of energy. I mean, that trilemma exists in the U.K., exists all over the world. Getting the debate and getting the balance and the trade-off right is something that needs to happen and happen pretty quickly. Our business, of course, has just been through, as you all know, a really rigorous review by Ofgem and by stakeholders of the costs of running our business, providing reliable, safe networks day in, day out, as well as stress testing the GBP 26 billion of investment that we need to make. So just been through that 2-year review period, and that's contributed an GBP 11 increase to the increase in bills this year. So the GBP 100-odd that we were paying as consumers extra this year if we're an average bill payer, GBP 11 of that is we're going to associate with beginning of the RIIO period. For the next 7 years, that's an increase of GBP 1 RIIO per year for the next 7 years. That's all it is, which allows us to run these businesses in the way that we have in the past and equally invest GBP 26 billion of critical investment that's required. So I think that, that's what we need people to actually focus on. But it's right there's a debate about the balance of and how quickly should we clean up our energy mix. But we clearly need to make sure, as I was remarking, that generation gets built in this country, so pretty quickly getting back to what needs to happen, get this Energy Bill through Parliament. That piece of legislation is crucial to give investors the clarity for the future. And let's not forget just how stable the U.K. has been such for a long period of time. The World Energy Council actually do a ranking on sustainable energy investment environment to deal with policy and regulation. The U.K. is in the top 5. That's not surprising. We've attracted a huge amount of investment over the past. We're now entering a phase where we need more investment than ever, so creating confidence, real stable environments, the right incentives and the confidence that our regulatory environment that have worked so well for a long period of time aren't interfered with the short-term initiatives is hugely important. Andrew, do you want to pick up?
