So we're bringing in, I suppose, new supports for them, but new supports for the public and new protections for children by putting that obligation at the point of sale.

And I think that is a big change.

So I think we need to work our way through all of this legally with the Attorney General and the likes.

We just had a discussion yesterday, obviously, to decide the principles.

There is to be a memorandum brought to Cabinet next week.

There's to be legislation produced in September.

But there are already fines in place, depending on the age of the person on an e-scooter, whether that fine can fall to them or not.

But I do think we have to push this back somewhat alongside a suite of legislative reform to the idea of how's the job getting the e-scooter in the first place.
