Mr. Mark Griffin:

First, it is very difficult to predict in any given year the likely level of sales. Looking at the trends between 2008 and 2016 - to give the Deputy a few figures to illustrate the variability in the level of sales that occurs in any given year - we had a reduction of 64,000 in the number of licences sold between 2008 and 2012. We had a reduction of 18,000 between 2011 and 2012.
