Mr. Kenneth Fox:

We have all repeated that the only show in town is the tax relief scheme and we all have this fear. Obviously, there have been issues with it and there are difficulties with access. However, for the 15,000 people, it is the only show in town. Everybody is afraid that because of all of this pressure that it is under, it will suddenly fall over and there will then be no scheme and nothing coming to replace it. Everyone wants improvements or some adjustments to be made to the scheme, probably separately, because even if this comprehensive schemes comes later, being realistic, that will not happen in a day or two or whatever. Perhaps, in time, it will get replaced. However, we may have to make some adjustments to the scheme to improve it because it may not be perfect. Keeping that running is the important thing while building a comprehensive system behind it is the way to go. There is a big fear out there that this will all get to be too much and we will end up in the same situation as the mobility allowance and the motorised transport grant where it is dropped. That is a huge fear out there.

The other thing is there are 20,000 people. If one looks at the number of people who are getting permits and whatever, that pro ratafigure from the UK is 150,000.
