It would be a great pity if something good is happening that could be scaled up and is not being replicated. There is a clear role there. I always like asking this question because it is like copying someone else's homework. Are any countries doing it right and which have a standard that we could aspire to? Significant good work is going on and there is significant goodwill. One can even see that here. There is no hesitation or reluctance to embrace the potential. Does Ms Longmuir see the point I am making? If it is being done well somewhere else, can we not take what that place has done and try to replicate it somewhat? If we are ahead of the curve, I feel a bit sorry for the curve. Perhaps there is good work being done somewhere else that we could replicate.
