The relevance is that Mr. Lacey is quite experienced and the IMDO report certainly talks about capacity and it recommends that there is an ACT campaign, which refers to assess, communicate and trial. The communication is with the importers and exporters who never deal with logistics. They deal with logistics companies, which are the hauliers that the IMDO never engaged with in its review at any stage. The report itself talks about capacity on lo-lo ships. It says on page 8, part 4, that there is sufficient capacity on direct ro-ro services to handle diverted land bridge traffic. Mr. Lacey talks about the fact that we had the land bridge before we had the Single Market. I wonder what the volumes were then because the one point that is consistent about the IMDO report is that the volume of 150,000 units did not change through Covid. There was no intimation that it had declined. Mr. Lacey said himself earlier that it would be 150,000 per annum.
