The first point is that the experience in other countries, as we already heard from Sweden, is that the number of formal requests is very low. Unfortunately, people are not as interested in us as we might wish they were, and I think we can see that the burden from that side could be expected to be very limited.
I have another point about it, which is diametrically opposed to this. I think we can massively increase efficiencies and reduce costs if we eliminated that pre-question and the fees pre-question, and if we moved to a system almost exclusively of electronic requests. That would be a huge efficiency.
By eliminating that requirement, we would be removing a barrier that is imposed on officials processing requests—they have to ascertain whether the person is a citizen or a resident. With that, they would no longer have to do that. If they didn't have to take the fees, they could do everything electronically, and it would be much more efficient. I think it would result in a huge increase in the rapidity of processing requests, rather than the opposite.
