It is my turn now. I have a few quick questions. Staying with the power and speed of these e-scooters, the legislation provides for an upper speed limit of 25 km/h. What are the witnesses' views on that? The legislation also provides for a power rating of 250 W. Again, what are the witnesses' views on this point? It is a big issue for us. We have covered everything else, so in the time remaining, these are the two of the key components of the legislation that I see in need of further examination. When I am finished, I might come back to Mr. Padden regarding what is happening in the UK. I call Ms Springthorpe first.
