I suggest to the Chairman that this may be something on which the committee could report. The written submission stated that 82.5% of workers do not live in employer-provided accommodation. In April, some employees of our local meat factories were travelling 150 miles up the country to meet others at the weekend. That must be addressed. It is not only the factories that have obligations; the employees also have an obligation to look at their own practices in respect of the public health measures, as do we all.

My final question may have been answered to a degree but do the witnesses feel there are factories that are still not 100% compliant with Covid guidelines and HSA regulations?
