I echo Senator Horkan's concerns. The case being made by leasing companies is that they will be put at a competitive disadvantage compared to the hire purchase and other sectors. It was a temporary measure but the industry has become used to it and the change will have an impact on its members. I support the call to examine it to see what further can be done. If someone in the same activity as somebody else is put at a disadvantage in our tax system, it merits further examination and I ask the Minister of State to see what can be done as we go forward.
