Let us go to that point. I acknowledge that Britain has no national claims information database. I acknowledge that four years of motor insurance data and two years of public liability insurance data have been gathered. However, the Central Bank has informed us that it cannot inform the public or us, as Oireachtas Members, of the premium reductions related to a single policy.

We may, for example, see motor insurance premia falling, but there is no way to disentangle that from whether it is because awards have fallen by 42% or the fact that there were so few cars on the roads and, therefore, fewer accidents and so on. Is there any way to find out that information?
