I profoundly disagree with the CIA, but thought it worth reminding people on how the debate has developed. The problem with licenses as they would still need a properly resourced and supported national and locally based regulatory body. So rather than a revolutionry change to the system ( with all the side issues of teething probklems and unforseen consequences) it strikes me as more pragmatic, and acheivable to lobby for the proper legal and financial support for the system as it is working now.
