I wish to make a very quick comment. I thank the Minister for his reply. Will he clarify the conversion of the British licences? I am not exactly clear on that. He also mentioned that reciprocal arrangements would be put in place. Will the British authorities do that by regulation or will legislation have to be put through Parliament, which is obviously a time consideration? We cannot have an interregnum during which people do not have their licences up to date or in order. That is the concern of our constituents and of people living in the Border area and much further afield.
