I do not wish to stray from our terms of reference, but the central accusation here today is that the terms and conditions around sick pay and working conditions for workers, in particular migrant workers, are such that required them to work in dangerous circumstances which resulted in them contracting Covid-19. That is what we are investigating so that is how this whole issue of trade union membership links to the issue of Covid-19 response. It is not as separate and divorced as might appear in the first instance.
