There were questions raised about regulation at the start of the session. I want to get this question right because I do not want the wrong message to be sent from the committee. Am I right in saying that if the Department had intervened, it could have been seen as price fixing, as such? I am referring to the operators of the MANs. Mr. Griffin mentioned the market. Competition enters the market. Service and price are market driven.
