At the rate we are going, with 40 licences being issued per week, bar this week when anecdotal evidence indicates there was a push on because Mr. Hayes and his colleagues were to appear before the committee, that will not work. The committee will not take that hook, line and sinker. For several weeks, 40 licences were being issued each week and it ended up that the whole industry is in chaos. I know guys, as does the Chairman, who have been in business for 30 years but the repossession guys are taking their machines. Does Mr. Hayes feel good about the likes of that?
