Fair enough. We will go back to the road traffic issue. Regarding e-scooters, does the Minister envisage that the regulations will follow in tandem with the publication of the Bill? Has he a view on what the age limit will be? What speed limit should be imposed on e-scooters? Where can they be used? Should someone who is using it follow the rules of the road or does the Minister envisage that a different code of practice would be involved for someone using an e-scooter?
