My third question relates to what I have observed where there are French boarding gates and UK boarding gates. For those who have not been through it, at the Gare du Nord in Paris, you go through the French gates, then you go through the UK gates immediately afterwards—one after the other, two sets of electronic gates—and there are differences in how you use them. In the French system, the camera moves up and down so that it adjusts to your height; that is not done automatically—it slides up and down according to where you stand in the area where the gates are situated. Given that this is not a frequent operation—clearly, it occurs only where juxtaposed customs take place—I wonder whether any attempt is being made to get some form of technical uniformity between our gates and the French gates. Where they are juxtaposed, it will always be down to the French gates.
