Yes. We need to ramp up and we are going to ramp up the deployment of those cameras. We can use that technology in a way where we might have a camera box but rotate the actual camera between different boxes to give the signal to improved behaviour. Cameras within vehicles have a role.

Certainly, cameras on buses are critical in tackling antisocial behaviour and in respect of any incidents involving those buses. I had a meeting with the taxi advisory committee last week at which we discussed the issue of cameras in taxis. The point I would make in this regard is the same one I would make in regard to cars. Issues arise when it comes to private vehicles in terms of how cameras are used and for what purpose. There are real privacy and other concerns.
