Yes, I asked this when the trials first became a thing. At the time we didn't reach a satisfactory conclusion as to how that would operate. I understand that the department has been looking at this. One thing that has been suggested to me is that extra infrastructure has been put in. I'd like a clear outline of how that process now operates such that it is just like using a normal debit card.
