Preston nodded. "I am, given careful and thorough consideration." He gestured to Victoria Culloden. "I share Mrs. Culloden's opinion on the careful regulation and monitoring of carpets, should the ban be phased out. Flying a carpet is a privilege, not a given, and ensuring safety standards and regulations for use is a chief task of the Ministry."

Speaking directly to Mr. Yenorin, but also casting glances at others in the area, he continued. "I know that some are concerned that charming carpets to fly appropriates a muggle item in a problematic way. For this reason, I would propose a regulation that only carpets manufactured specifically for flying purposes could be registered. Charming existing muggle rugs would not be permitted."

"Additionally, as I mentioned over in the budget area, the Ministry needs to investigate new funding streams. Fees associated with the registration and licensing of personal carpets, carpet manufacturing, and other related endeavors could provide a new revenue source to devote to a number of transportation related expenses."
