I propose to take Questions Nos. 28 to 31, inclusive, together.

The issues raised by the Deputy, and the issues raised in the RSA report, fall across the spheres of responsibility of the Road Safety Authority, the Commission for Taxi Regulation and my Department. Because of this, consideration of the matters has taken longer than envisaged, which I regret. I have asked my officials to expedite their consultations, and to report to me urgently. I expect that a decision on these matters will be made next month.
