I thank the Minister. Before I take questions from members, I want to return to the point I raised before the break, namely, that it might be wiser if we could appeal to the Government through the Minister's good offices to recognise existing relationships in the context of insurance policies North and South, with no requirement to have a green card. That would make the most sense of all, for the whole common travel area. The green card would increase bureaucracy and cause significant delays, if somebody wishes to cause a delay. We do not need the green card.
