I welcome that and, hopefully, we will get it into the committee next week and that the working group's recommendations will deal with the problem we are facing in the here and now. One of the first campaigns I was involved in outside of Sinn Féin was with the Motor Justice Action Group because when I was a young motorist I was suddenly charged £3,500 for insurance. This is a cyclical problem and we need to ensure the working group just does not stop working after this process is complete. We need a permanent body which will continually monitor this. Such a body will also need to ensure tweaks in other areas are made to ensure the cycle does not emerge again.
