That is good. The staffing of the aircraft, with pilots and so on, is all in train.

May I turn to the issue of GoSafe, which the Comptroller and Auditor General has highlighted? Between 2022 and 2023, there seems to have been less paid in respect of the GoSafe service. Does that mean there was less GoSafe activity in terms of speed enforcement? It appears that we bring in more from the service than we spend on it, which is positive, but I wonder why we do not roll it out more given the importance of road safety. It seems this would be sensible. It was highlighted in terms of the reduction from 2022 to 2023. Does the reduction reflect less activity? Could I have Mr. Harris's opinion on that, if I may?
