I will conclude unless there are any concluding points to be made. I thank the guests. The discussion has been very helpful because it will inform our future deliberations in this area.

In regard to the petition I mentioned, which was circulated to Members, we have to reply to the Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions.

It was referred to and circulated to members. In our reply to the Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions I suggest we acknowledge receipt of the letter from the committee to say that the letter was considered by this committee at today's meeting and also at last week's meeting. It was noted that while the use of video games has educational benefit, the content of such games is a matter for those authorities who set the curriculum. Is that agreed? Agreed.
