I thank our contributors. I will concentrate on a question I have for Professor Doyle. He mentioned franchise, but we have had many contributions from young people. Are we isolating 16- to 18-year-olds by not considering them, or have they been considered in his research? It seems that they have a valid opinion and an argument to make for both sides. I ask him to comment on whether he has done that and to offer his views on it. What has his research shown in that regard? Nobody wants to compromise any outcome, and I know we all want that, but are we leaving behind a large cohort of people who should have a say?
