I do not have a question per se but wish to add my comments. I thank the witnesses for their contribution today and for the report they have produced. They have summed up the argument very well through their collaboration with Mr. Peter Bacon and other organisations. Most of us sitting here are very concerned to ensure that we do not sell our soul for tuppence ha'penny. The witnesses have gone further than that to make a cogent argument very well, which is what they knew they had to do. We have been talking to Ministers to say that this is not something we want to see happening. The joint committee has heard very good evidence on the matter and I am grateful to the witnesses for bringing the report before us today.
