I will comment exactly as I did before. I could copy and paste comments to save time rather than saying the same thing over again.

With the transfer of certain copper from waste to being a heavy commodity and valuable item, we know it is being stolen, with the likes of monuments on motorways being destroyed. Could we look at enforcement and what we must do to make the enforcement of rules stronger? Should we have a report or invite in somebody to make a presentation on where we are falling down and what can be done to change this?
