Okay. Thank you. I just want to come back to what is mainly an urban situation, which is the—. You say, Victoria, in your paper that there's little correlation between a home's energy performance rating and the market rent, according to the research you did…

I think it makes sense if we now come to Tom Giffard who had some questions about rural fuel poverty, and then I'll come back to urban situations. Tom.

Thank you, Jonathan. You've given us some excellent examples in your written evidence and we'll obviously follow this up. I'd like to move on now to discuss whether an area-based approach is what we need in future. Jane Dodds.

Okay. Thank you very much. While I ask Victoria to comment on the success of both schemes, I wondered if the sound recordist could have a discussion with Jonathan about the sound. They're very lovely sounds, but they're rather dominant, and I'm not quite sure…

Okay. But, nevertheless, the Nest scheme doesn't seem to have been a coherent offer and nor was it focused on the needs of individuals who, in most cases, are quite vulnerable.

However, from your paper we can see that Arbed was really not fit for purpose. I mean, there were some pretty massive issues both in the way in which Arbed operated—not very customer-focused—and also there were differences in the costing arrangements between…

Okay. Jonathan, you mentioned that you'd been involved in just over 200 successful applications, and then in your paper you talk about how in the last six months you've supported 65 households. That, to me, seems tiny. I mean, I appreciate that you're not the…

Okay. I think you're right to point out that there are some quite significant issues that are now coming back to bite us in the context of the massive rises in energy prices. Could you outline the concerns you may have about the end of Arbed last November?…

No, I'm not sure who it is, but just to say to the sound recordists, I'm getting lots of sea shore and then bird sounds, and I don't know where that's coming from, because everybody else is muted, but perhaps the sound recordists can sort that out. Victoria…

Rwy'n deall eich dadl bod angen mwy o arian ar Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i fynd ar drywydd yr holl bobl sy'n llygru ein hafonydd, ond tybed a allech chi nodi o ble y credwch y gallai fod angen i'r arian ddod ohono i wneud hynny? Er enghraifft, a fyddech chi'n…

Excellent. I'll just pitch in as well on the back of that to say that surely the main problem in what you want to do in testing the UBI is that we don't control the tax and benefit system, and the UK Government, as yet, doesn't indicate it wants to do this…
