I thank everybody. I am relatively new to the committee so I did not have the benefit of meeting Professor Mark Ferguson and others who have spoken to the committee at an earlier stage. I thank Mr. O'Grady in particular for explaining the three-phase testing process and so on. One of my questions relating to that is what is there to compel people to do a third test? One obviously needs to do the first and second tests because, if one does not, one will not get a ticket to the event. Having gone to the event and enjoyed it, how can people be compelled to take a third test and to upload the results? People may find out from the last test that they are positive but decide not to tell anybody. Is there anything in the system to address that?
