Turning to the subject of hauliers, there has been and is great frustration in the sector. It is under great pressure and hauliers took to the streets before Christmas. The Minister met with members of the representative bodies, and he indicated that some moves would be made after Christmas. What is he doing for that sector and what does he intend to do for it? Will anything be included for this sector in the cost-of-living proposals to be announced? Equally, has consideration been given to supporting the sector in making the transition to using engines and fuels which give rise to low carbon emissions?
