The Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government is in the process of launching a new policy on the end of life for used tyres. The Minister has refused to engage with or meet one of the key representative bodies, the Independent Tyre Wholesalers and Retailers Association. He is introducing a monopoly in this area. Why or how does the Government think it can bring forward a comprehensive policy without fully engaging with one of the key stakeholders? Will the Minister confirm that he will raise this issue with his colleague to make sure that we have-----

He will not confirm it on the Order of Business.

It concerns a national policy.

No, we are dealing with promised legislation. I gave you a little bit of room, but please do not start going down a completely different avenue.

I appreciate that, but it could have the potential to cost jobs and increase the price of tyres.

Maybe so, but not on the Order of Business. Thank you.
