I sincerely hope that inspection is not a feature of any future action short of strike, because we are in a positive and a better space with the ETI regime. However, we have to be realistic about legislation. Timing is everything, and, if you introduce a punitive measure in legislation when industrial relations are in such a poor state, there is a real risk that it will cause damage to the system rather than improve relations. I will give way to Mr Buckley.
