That is reasonable. I am not sure of the answer to that question but I can report to the Deputies on Report Stage or before then. There is no effort here to obstruct this, I can assure the committee. It is just a matter of deciding to go ahead with what we have got while continuing to consider other drugs. Even if we were to include some that are on the list now, we would still have to consider others on the list as we go along.

In this area, the science and forensics is developing all the time, as is our understanding of the damage these drugs do to peoples' capacity to drive. It is an area that is constantly being monitored but we just want go ahead with what we have now. That is not to say, however, that we do not want to include what is on the list drawn up by the Deputies.
