We will now move on to Members of the Houses who are not members of the committee. I will invite Members in the order in which they entered the room to avoid arguments. I recognise that this is a hugely important issue for Members but I must make one point. The political system is responsible for investment in transport. Our witnesses today have pushed for and want the most modern public transport system in Europe. They are not responsible for anything other than trying to improve the situation, although that does not mean they are immune from criticism. Deputy Lahart is next.
