I may reintroduce both amendments on Report Stage to have them interrogated further. On amendment No. 7, I am not fixated on using the cycle to work scheme to provide supports and incentives for families to obtain bikes. The principle of the issue should be examined further. As a society, we want to introduce young people to bikes. Those of us who adopt a love of cycling when we are younger retain it for the rest of our lives. There are obvious health, social and environmental benefits. I hope this is something the Minister and his colleagues can continue to consider as these kinds of schemes evolve.
