I suppose a UK deal with the EU would be some kind of prospect. Obviously, the 12 months are to give us time to do that, and I do not anticipate that we will go over that cliff at any stage. It would just be unthinkable. I think we can be confident that a continuous arrangement will be made, even if it will be difficult. I do not know what the shape of it or any other arrangement will be in the end.

Deputy Munster asked about budget 2019. It was based on a withdrawal agreement and a transition period. In a no-deal scenario, the Government will look at any need for Exchequer funding for the OPW when those costs are clearer and timing is known. The Government will look at that. The Deputy will be aware of the fact that budget 2019 was based on a withdrawal agreement. That is true; she is right.

I have the figures relating to the percentage of trucks that use the landbridge to Dover. It is 16%.

The Deputy asked about haulage as well.
