Was it the case up to January of this year that if one registered as a courier, one would automatically be assumed to be on class S? That has obviously changed since this year. Mr. McMahon mentioned that we need legislation to ensure that inappropriate test cases are not expanded to deny individual rights, but when the Department officials spoke to us they admitted there is a gap in terms of investigations. Should cases going to the Scope Section - when we have one or two cases in relation to a sector - be triggering a wider sectoral investigation?
