I thank Mr. Cullen. Point 19 relates to something that is a bit of a bugbear of mine. I refer to advance notice inspections. Are there specific sectors that will always get notice? I appreciate that the witnesses are saying they sometimes have to give notice and cannot be jumping out of the back of a van all the time. I am just wondering whether it is always in the one sector. What about meat plants? Would it always be announced, the opposite or a mix of both? I am not going to reference any particular sector, but I might as well reference the area as it is one we are all familiar with. I am asking for the officials to give us an idea of the difference between when an inspection is announced or unannounced and whether that has any impact on rates of compliance, interaction at the level of the workplace with the employer or anything like that.
