The authorities that have got electric buses are those that have applied successfully for UK Government funding, and we should be very grateful for that. But, on the electric charging points, I have to remind you that just as governments are not responsible for petrol stations, nor are they responsible for electric charging points. There is a responsibility, I agree, for us to ensure that communities are taking opportunities to install electric charging points in their villages and towns so that they can make some money out of that, using renewable energy in their area, but, really, it is not the job of Government to be transferring to electric charging points.
