I thank the Minister of State and his team for the work they are doing and for coming in to us this afternoon. We look forward to reading the Minister of State's report when it is published in December. It would be very useful if perhaps next February or March he would come back to the committee and outline the progress that has been made at that stage. I accept that it will be early days but we would still like to know what has happened, what is in train and what is going on. As the Chairman said earlier, we do not want our report or the report of the Minister of State gathering dust on a shelf. We want as much progress as we can get because it is clearly an enormous issue for so many people. Almost every house in the country has a car, if not more than one car, and it is affecting how we all do business.
