My thanks to Mr. Murphy for the direct answer. For a long time, I have believed that we should have moved towards a model of free public transport as an incentive to get people out of their cars. Now, more than ever, it is obvious that we will have to look at something like that to address the fall-out from the pandemic and, more important, to address the modal shift required if we are to be successful in decarbonising transport to the extent that we must to meet our commitments. My thanks to Mr. Murphy for sharing to some extent the view on that. I look forward to working with him on this committee in the coming years.
