I turn to the issue of road safety. I emphasise that there is no data to suggest that there is likely to be an increase in the collision rate but, to give some reassurance, safety data will be an important part of the post-implementation review of these regulations that is due before the end of the five years, as I said. Any change in the rate or severity of collisions involving these vans will be monitored to determine whether these regulations have had an impact on road safety. We need to make sure that all vehicle operators comply with their requirements.
