With this instrument has come a fairly significant administrative burden. In the Government’s figures, the cost is £20 million for suppliers and a further £15 million in costs from the Government’s side on these matters. Obviously, every pound that is spent on administration is a pound that is also added to consumers’ energy bills. I just push and encourage the Government, through this process, to try to learn lessons and to see what more we can do to streamline some of these processes to reduce some of those burdens.
