Very good. It is a fantastic city. It is great to get that insight. I believe that children of today are far more developed than we were when growing up. I believe we will have to give consideration to views on voting at 16. We also need to consider those in a professional capacity, whether psychologists or others, because there is a responsibility. Certainly, as a parent, there is a responsibility in dealing with children and taking decisions for them. We need to consider where the capacity is for a 16-year-old today in relation to taking decisions. Without applying too much pressure at too young an age, that is certainly a point to consider in all of that.

I do not have any questions per se. I am delighted to hear the witnesses' heartfelt presentation today. We certainly look forward to doing whatever we can for them. If we have any impact, the witnesses might consider coming back to talk to us again and giving us their views.
