I will make a brief point because it has been made over and over again. I have tried to watch part of the debate and I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I will go back to the point about issuing licences. I am talking about category C licences for trucks and lorries in particular. Businesses are expanding and have jobs for workers and are waiting four or five months for a driving licence test. It is causing a lot of frustration. I know we have had difficulties and issues and Covid-19 and all of that but we have to try to do better in that regard. I have one case where a person was waiting almost four months and that has been sorted out. There is another person waiting and I hope that will be sorted out but it is still too long where firms have got extra business.
