Does this exemption not add costs to domestic and other electricity users?

I will move on to a different topic. David Tydeman was quoted as saying that the sea trials have been “overwhelmingly positive” so far. Will you give us a bit more information on how the sea trials are going? Have they highlighted the need for any remedial work?

Will you need to redo some sea trials once the LNG system is back up and running? Is that something else that you have to do?

That sounds good. I think that you mentioned that 801 and 802 contain certain components that are no longer under warranty due to their age and, probably, lack of use. Is it still a concern for you that some components are out of warranty? How will you address that?

Okay—thank you.

I have what I hope is just a quick question on the capital investment in the new plating line. If that investment does not come through, would that make returning the yard to private ownership more difficult? Is it still the board’s aim to move the yard back to private ownership?

Can you give an estimate of when the yard could go back into private ownership? Are we talking five or 10 years? What do you think?

Minister, my question was whether you think that it is fair that householders are shouldering the burden.

I will follow up the questions about framework contracts. David Tydeman said that the approach to 802 is different. When were you able to put in place fixed-price contracts for the 802, as opposed to framework contracts?

If negotiations are still taking place, can we have any confidence in the pricing that you gave us for 802?
