They will, of course, at the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications this morning. I am just seeking Mr. Godfrey's view on whether legislative change would be required. As it stands we passed the resolution in the Dáil that there would be a decrease in the excise but there is still no legal obligation to pass it on. I am not saying it is pointless because clearly it is not. It will have an impact. I understand it is a policy matter but Mr. Godfrey might have a view as to whether it would be a good policy to pursue to legislate for that so that we can be guaranteed that a reduction in excise is passed on to the consumer.
