Thanks for this and your previous mail. Are you aware of any other
countries which have 'polled' their populations? On first scan it is
clear that the British are concerned more about social/cultural issues
than with cost/technical arguments, even mentioning, and I find this
encouraging, that the UK deciders think out of the national box, taking
into account international cultural points of view. 

Keep 'em coming.
