The scheme is to be implemented by the British Home Office, which has been a bit vague about how it intends to enforce it. It talked about no checks when crossing the border, which would be welcome, and intelligence-led enforcement of the scheme. I am not quite sure what that means, and, despite our many engagements with the Home Office, we are still not quite sure what that means. The implementation of the scheme is the responsibility of the Home Office. We do not have a role in that, but we have a role in representing the interests of the tourism industry, and those interests are firmly against the imposition of the scheme.
