I understand and we are agreed on that point. I have no problem with the allowance, but I am seeking a note on how the system operates. Would a city or county manager have the information? The Department does not need to survey every local authority. An area engineer or road supervisor with a couple of depots in his or her area would hop in a car, travel ten miles today and 48 tomorrow. It would be a waste of everyone's time if that person had to clock each journey. A system must be in place. I have no argument with the one in question, as it is probably pragmatic and cost-effective. Will Ms Tallon forward the committee a note on the issue? The information must be available.
