I will be brief and will defer to all of my colleagues, who are probably affected by this seven days a week. I want to give the outside perspective on some of the points that have been made.

It looks like more planning or agreement should have gone into this in advance rather than now. I will ask everybody a global question.

Is it possible to tinker with this in some way to solve it or is a more dramatic intervention needed? Second, listening to what the two taxi representatives said, it is reasonable that they would be able to service hotels and so on in that area. In other words, can a solution be got without major alterations to what the witnesses are talking about or are these just teething problems?
