If I lose my card on a Friday I will wait for the following Monday. I appreciate that it is a trial, but it is a trial that affects people's lives. It affects their ability to get food for their families, it affects their ability to manage their working day, if they are working, and it affects the way they operate. If I lose my card on a Friday I do not get one until Monday. What will the arrangements be in the interim? I also ask, because obviously you do have more information than you have been giving me: what is the documentary proof I have to front up with to get a replacement card?
