A small point, returning to this question of the utilities infrastructure and whether you are in this rich mix of cooks and broths and magic wands talking to the regulators, Ofcom, Ofgem and all the other `ofs', because in the old days the utilities, the phone, gas and electricity companies would have been able to put the infrastructure in ahead of demand. Now they are working on a private model they can only put the investment in if there is a sure payback, unless the regulators tell them they have to do that. So are the regulators part of this?

We have a later motion about this question of the nationalisation of the national functions, so we will perhaps return to that. However, certainly one of the attractions of going down that route is to get the clarity and funding so that people can see what is going on. If the Government is not being clear and is expecting Londoners to pay for national responsibilities, then that is one of the reasons we are looking at that, certainly from my side.
