I remind the noble Lord of some of the figures that I gave at Second Reading. I have been provided by some figures by one of the companies that have mothballed plant; its national estimate is that there would be mothball capacity that could be brought back into production within three to six months of 2.6 gigawatts; between six to 12 months, a further 1.4 gigawatts; and 12 to 18 months, 2.6 gigawatts. That is not in the least bit inconsequential; these are important figures. If nobody is going to get any payment until 2018-19, that is how they will stay—mothballed—because they will not see what their payment is going to be.
