There are no further questions. I thank our guests and members for attending. This is our final meeting before the recess. I wish everybody a happy, peaceful and joyous Christmas. I thank those in the secretariat for their work during the year, the communications people on my right hand side for their patience with us from time to time and everybody else connected with the committee. In the past year we have had 31 meetings. We covered many different areas, from greyhounds to fodder crises to challenges in all sectors. I have no doubt that in the coming year, there will be many challenges to address. We will know how short or long the term is in due course. I wish everybody a happy and peaceful Christmas.
