That is where we all come into this. By virtue of where I live, I have a more urban experience and by virtue of where Deputy Kenny is based, he has a more rural experience. This committee is all about to trying to bring different perspectives. I am sure if I lived where Deputy Kenny lived, I would not recommend cycling the distances he has to travel. Equally, if he lived where I live, he might realise that people can move around a lot faster on a bike than they can in a car much of the time, certainly at peak time.

I thank Mr. Strachan for what he has done. He does not need to refer to his allowance but I think it is great value, in terms of what he is getting for what he does. I wish him well. Is his term a five-year one, from April?
