The reason why that is important, which we will see when we get on to talk about ticket retailing, which will probably be today, and on later days when we talk about open access and freight, is that the decisions about who has access to the network and how you balance capacity against different users will be taken in the first instance by GBR under the model that is being set up rather than by the Office of Road and Rail. Therefore, it is quite important for people, both the public and passengers, as well as the companies that want to operate these services, to know how GBR is actually going to operate. Amendment 8, shining a bit of light and transparency on how the company is set up, is very valuable.
