I do not believe it would be appropriate, honest or helpful if what emerged from these proceedings was a "them and us" view. I reiterate what I said, namely, that we have a great deal in common. There will be those who will report on these proceedings and it would be completely dishonest if it were to suggest people in the retail sector and members, as the elected representatives of their communities, were in some way at loggerheads on this issue. That is not the case. The clock has beaten me and I must withdraw.
