I do not have very much time left. That is an interesting subject. I will come back to it if possible.

My final question relates to the general efficacy of the Act. Has it dealt with the various issues in part, in total or not at all? I note the 61% who made a decision to go overseas made that decision in their own interests, which, of course, they are quite entitled to do, either on health grounds or whatever, and having particular regard to some of the things that happened in this country previously. I do not want to drag it on at this stage - it is not possible to do so - but I will come back to this question again.
