I can confirm that there has been ongoing engagement between the industry and my Department, and also between the chief executives of the companies and me directly. We meet regularly. Before I commence any section, we will of course engage with the industry and make sure it is ready. We want things to have the effect we expect them to have in practice. We are not going to delay forever but will engage with the industry before we commence a new section. The Deputy is right to ask about it.
