I thank Mr. Burgess. My next question is for Ms Graham. First, she said earlier that much of the public transport capacity intended to be used in phase 2 has already been used up by what are thought to be non-essential journeys. Does she believe that will be an issue when, hopefully, we move into phase 2 next Tuesday? Second, I believe a 55-seater bus can now carry 14 people adhering to social distancing measures. I know that, technically, this area does not come under Ms Graham's brief but what recommendations will the NTA be making in terms of school services and the practical challenges we face in transporting children to and from school, hopefully in September?
