:01:34. > :01:36.One of the drivers we spoke to said they can't get a job

:01:37. > :01:40.because they have a criminal record ` so this is a way of making money.

:02:37. > :02:39.Picking up on some of the kdy points, milk quotas will be scrapped

:02:40. > :02:43.for farmers. For customers ` there won't be a fixed price for lilk so

:02:44. > :02:46.you'll be able to shop around. And the laws on importing milk will be

:02:47. > :02:53.tightened up, to ensure that can't happen.

:02:54. > :02:56.That has been a massive grex area that has held up investment in the

:03:05. > :03:07.and getting this review through will be the most important thing we can

:03:08. > :03:10.do. The most contentious issue, though,

:03:11. > :03:13.was about doorstep deliverids. Many of the distributors were thdre to

:03:14. > :03:16.hear debate. It was important to them because they've built tp

:03:17. > :03:19.businesses based on their individual And although they'd still bd able to

:03:20. > :03:25.deliver milk under the plans, their zone wouldn't be protected. But it

:03:26. > :03:28.was decided another report looking at just that side of the industry is

:03:29. > :03:32.needed before a decision is made on that ` a report that should be out

:03:33. > :03:40.next summer. Plans for a new supermarket and 41

:03:41. > :03:43.homes have been given the go ahead in Jersey. The Guernsey`basdd
