On the point raised by the noble Earl, Lord Russell, we are very wary. In a sense, this is coming from two points: on the one hand, noble Lords are concerned about too much interference from Ministers in the day-to-day operations of GBE, and, on the other, there is a temptation to try to specify here what it ought to be doing. I understand that quite fully, because noble Lords have some important issues to raise about certain clean power technologies, but I think the noble Lord, Lord Cameron, is right: we really need to resist the temptation to say how GBE will divide its resources.
