I will refer to the Act that he introduced. I will not use the name. I do not want to be negative. The witnesses have run Local Link and they know it must be rolled out meticulously. Nothing can be taken away from that. The NTA has gone down another route now. I am convinced that Local Link should be very much involved in this. The existing taxi and hackney operators, who are struggling to survive in rural communities, are willing to work with this. They should be around the table. Perhaps some of this grant aid should be going towards them.
