The point I am making is that the RSA came to the Minister of State in June 2022 to say that it needed 130 driver testers. It had 100 and within that 100 were more than 30 experienced driver testers who it let go only a month or two later. It made them reapply on the open market. It is madness. Did the RSA make a request to the Minister of State's Department to keep on these 30 plus experienced driving testers at that time? Has it done so since its recent appearance before this committee when it gave a commitment to make such a request of the Department? Has that happened?
