It is for ten minutes. I thank the witnesses.

Has there been any assessment of the impact of the decision not to restrict travel at an earlier stage? There are indications in Britain of the impact of the Cheltenham festival and the Liverpool-Atlético Madrid game. Have we an assessment of these? It strikes me we acted late. We did not lock down or restrict movement early. We imported the virus. Was there an assessment of the impact of, for example, not introducing the passenger locator form as a mandatory measure earlier or having contact tracing added at an earlier stage? I am thinking in terms of Cheltenham but also in terms of the Ireland-Italy rugby game, as well as people returning home from skiing in northern Italy.
