I wish to make some concluding remarks. I ask the delegation to develop its point about excise duty as this would be of assistance to the committee and to the Department. The issue of below-cost selling is recognised as a difficulty. There are three different types of outlets for the sale of alcohol. The off-site outlet issue is far more complex, and Ms Jones made this clear in her contribution. The big multiple retailer and the independent or family-owned chain of off-licences operate a different model, albeit with under the same rules.
