Is it fair to say, Mr. Cooley, that the ask of the taxi drivers is a relatively straightforward one? We are coming out of a pandemic and many of the members of the organisations represented here today were not operating for a long period of time. They are not looking for cars to be an infinite age, they want to keep them for 15 years, to allow drivers sufficient time. I would have thought there is generally support within the taxi sector to move towards the use of electric vehicles. That is the feeling I get from all the taxi drivers I speak to.
