TII might send us a detailed note, especially on how many different contracts are involved in the motorway network. Some of us use the motorways and there has been a marked improvement in recent years regarding maintenance. I am speaking about hedge-cutting, litter, barrier protection, lights and paving. TII probably has a bigger budget than the local authorities had when they were doing it. The quality has improved.

We have not touched on the special report on motor tax of the Comptroller and Auditor General. I have a couple of quick questions. We have all studied it. It is from December 2016 so it is 15 months old. We were getting to it last year and it has moved between Departments. I have a couple of quick questions, and if the witnesses from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport do not have the answers they can come back in writing to us. Well over 50% of people were paying motor tax online when the report was written in 2016. Do the witnesses have any idea of the current figure?
