Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this Bill is a two- edged sword.

Did not like it at all. But you know, it is an amenity and so it may be an attraction that people want to utilise when they come to Bermuda. I have spoken with the Minister who has r eminded me that this is his piece of legislation and so he is providing the means for the vehicles to be …

The headgear. Hon. Walter H. Ro ban: Oh, the headgear. Well, all liveries have certain criteria to meet for headgear. And so, that is the same criteria that will be applied here, and that headgear has to be approved by TCD.
