I received correspondence from representatives in the car rental industry. They are experiencing tough issues, particularly because of the supply chain of new cars. They are relying on older cars and there is a requirement for more tests. I can forward the correspondence on to the RSA but basically they are looking at a severe shortage of cars, which will have a knock-on impact on our tourism product. We also heard anecdotal evidence throughout the summer of tourists being charged exorbitant figures for car rental. Has the authority any plan to deal with that particular sector?
