The clerk will deal with that. This looks to me like a grab for tax from small business at the expense of the health of the citizens who support the food supplements sector. I will strenuously suggest to the Minister that this decision should not be taken and the situation should remain as it is. That view needs to be reflected in correspondence to the Minister before budget day. I thank our guests for coming along and making their case so clearly.

We will suspend until the representatives of the insurance companies have taken their seats.
