I have one or two questions about getting the information on this to the industry. Does the authority intend to or has it had any consultation with the industry, either through the producer organisations or the publications, or how does it propose to bring to the attention of the industry the effects of this statutory instrument? How will the introduction of electronic logbooks impact with respect to the statutory instrument in terms of the international dimension to this?

If the authority finds that a person has amassed so many penalty points that his or her licence is permanently withdrawn, does that mean that such capacity is taken from the fleet as well? Is that clearly set out in the statutory instrument or is it intended to do that? In such circumstances, would the fleet reduce by that capacity, or what would happen to such capacity?
