Mr. Alan Robinson:

I suggest that the committee broadens the consultation process. All the people and organisations that are attending this committee deserve to be here. The committee could ask itself how many multinational corporations it will hear from. How many of the innovators will it hear from? These are the young boys and girls who get up at six in the morning to create the next Google or Twitter? What about the tens of thousands of people who have moved into the docklands over the past ten or 15 years? How many of these voices will the committee hear? I do not wish to cause controversy or exclude anybody but a more inclusive process involving other voices could make a real and meaningful contribution to the committee's consultation process.
