I do not want to mislead the Deputy in this regard. We have said previously that if there was a system in the world that provided for roadside testing for drugs, or narcotics in any form, we would legislate for it. The fact is that there is none anywhere in the world; there is no such system. There have been a few trial systems in various countries over the past decade or so but none has worked. I do not want to mislead the Deputy by telling him I will introduce a system that does not exist. If there was a system, we would legislate for it.
