J P Ward left an annotation ()
Response included non-live links which was permissible but obstructive. In any case the Minister has indicated that in need he will use his legislative powers to define JVL as a rapid transit service even of there is a credible argument that it is not. In the circumstances pursuing further requests seems a pointless exercise.
