I would like to seek some clarification regarding a report that was produced by this committee. We proposed that a member of the stable staff should be on the board. I think that is the reason for the extra board member. It will be a nominee of the stable staff representative organisation who is accepted by HRI in the first instance. Is it the case that the sub-committee will have to contain that person in any event? The Bill provides that "the industry services committee shall [...] [include a representative of] stable staff" who will be the nominated member in this example. I hope the Minister knows what I am trying to say. I cannot say too much. I am just pointing that out.
