I thank Mr. Gaynor. It is not easy to put together a volume of work and stick at it long enough to present a case. I applaud that. I share some of the views on the value of this petition, not least that it seems extraordinary that there is no statutory retirement age as part of the apparatus of the working environment. Employers use a one-year fixed contract to bridge the gap. Can Mr. Gaynor explain that in more detail and tell us what he thinks of it? Is it happening, and if so how widespread is it?
