We have looked at that and we think a two-year period is relevant. Somebody might have an accident and some symptoms may not show up for some time. What the Vice Chairman is talking about is dealt with in section 8 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004. It is the same Act that refers to the period in which somebody must present. With regard to the data protection rules, we are going to reconcile the data protection period with section 8 whereby somebody will have to give the insured person a warning letter that there has been an incident within the period of time under the data protection rules so the imagery, video footage or whatever the case may be can be retained and saved so somebody can have a proper defence.
