In the interests of time, there is one more question I want to ask so I will stop Mr. Burgess there if I may.

This really is a question for whoever the responsible body is. I have had a lot of people contacting me asking what the situation is on incoming travel. We understand that there are no restrictions on people going between the North and the South, but if people are flying in from Britain do they need to isolate themselves for two weeks? While there is now enforcement in terms of signing the forms, people are asking what happens after that. Is there anyone following up to check that people are isolating? If they isolate with friends or family, do the friends and family have to isolate, or do they essentially have to sit in their friends' house for two weeks while their friends go about their business?

Is there any enforcement in terms of what happens when people leave the airports after they sign forms? When do the witnesses believe these requirements will be eased? I have read through the roadmap, which states that, for all five phases, "Specific measures will be introduced at ports and airports.". I cannot find any statement indicating that the two-week isolation requirement will be waived. However, we know the requirement will be waived in Italy tomorrow and in other European countries in the next two or three weeks. I apologise to the Chairman for finishing with a very broad question.
