Let me turn to the points made by the noble Lord, Lord Dodds of Duncairn. He gave a long list of manufacturers, as did other noble Lords. I will go away and check on that because the information I have is about models; it is not a whole list of products of complete manufacturers. We will look at that closely in order to ensure that our joint understanding is right in terms of what models are and are not offered there. I am certainly happy to say that, if the list is anything like correct—I am not suggesting for a moment that the noble Lord is not correct, but we obviously need to check for ourselves—we certainly have more work to do in this area. As I have already said, and as I am sure I will say more times before we finish this debate, it is our intention that the offer of models in Northern Ireland is the same as in the rest of Great Britain. I cannot confirm the statistics but, as I say, I am not suggesting for a moment that the noble Lord is incorrect; we just need to do that work in the department.
