I would like to ask a couple of specific questions, one of which is a wider question. In 2002 we were told by the Comptroller and Auditor General that these arrangements were not ideal. Of course, the Comptroller and Auditor General's only job is effectively in respect of revenue. It is not the mechanism for vindication of rights. The scaling of this work in terms of the gig economy now is one thing I would like to ask Mr. McMahon about as well as the extent to which these practices become further embedded. I have a really specific technical question but I need to find my note.

In terms of the scale since, how does Mr. McMahon believe this has become embedded or has set precedent?
