Is that agreed? Agreed.

Our final petition today is No. 21/14, submitted by Mr. John Breslin, in regard to motor taxation reform. The petitioner seeks the introduction of pay-as-you-use type of motor taxation for haulage drivers as opposed to the current system where hauliers must tax their vehicles for a minimum of three months. Research by the committee secretariat has identified that an interdepartmental group with representation from a cross-section of stakeholders has been established. Does anybody wish to comment on this issue?
