I will move on the question with regard to whether it can be simplified to Mr. Harrahill. Something else that has been said by many hauliers, and it was alluded to here earlier, is that in a groupage situation there may be one particular problem that may relate to one movement reference number, MRN, but hauliers could be waiting three or four hours or more before they find this out. Mr. Harrahill has spoken about the need to offer this information. I accept there may be GDPR problems but we need to find what means will be used and how quickly this will happen from the point of view of being able to tell hauliers where the problem is in order that they can at least play a part in sorting it out and moving on the goods. Again, we are getting away with some of this on the basis we do not have the regular numbers yet due to stockpiling.
