Mr. Aidan Dunning:
Obviously, this is primarily a policy matter for the Government but there are technical issues to be dealt with and legislation to be enacted. Taking account of the phasing period as well, we are certainly looking at the latter part of 2014. That is primary for a Minister of the Government but from what I know of the study and the difficulty in bringing in a very new system and replacing an old one, and doing it in a way that does not disrupt the situation in place, my best guess would be the latter part of 2014.
