I thank the witnesses. This meeting has been comprehensive, and they have laid the issues out cleanly. Their point on taxi drivers being good salespeople for vehicles is a definite. I do not have an EV. I bought a Skoda Octavia on the basis of a recommendation by a taxi driver friend of mine who always drives one. I bought it after he told me he saw it for sale. My NCT expiry date was the next day so I had no choice but to buy. In fairness, you notice it. I am not going to repeat what has been said. In fairness to the Chairman, he has covered an awful lot of the major considerations, including the fit-for-purpose EV scheme and all the rest of it.

I am going to go back to two of the questions I asked earlier. There is still the issue of the illegal operators. I do not believe I got an answer to my question on taxi driver safety. This is an issue I have heard about. Could I get something on that?

At an organisational level, what interaction would there be on the likes of the Garth Brooks concert, and how would the witnesses envisage it happening?
