Many of the questions I intended to ask have already been asked.

As well as the environmental factor, some of us on the committee became interested in broadening the tax base because of the dangers to our corporation tax among other factors. The UK, including Northern Ireland, went down this route before us. How did they manage an equalisation which was fair to the haulage industry as well as beneficial to the Exchequer?
