That concludes our consideration of the matter today. I thank the delegations from Retail Excellence and ICTU for assisting the committee in its discussions. We will follow up. We all agree on and understand the urgency of the crisis facing retail and the triple attack that is coming, in the shape of Brexit, Covid-19 and online sales. We must look at that. We will do our best to support the idea of establishing a retail stakeholders group as quickly as possible. Many positive comments were made by both the workers' representatives and the employers' groups. We will take those comments on board. I will read all the comments again and we will follow up on it.

I thank all who contributed to the meeting. It was a most productive discussion, like other meetings in the last few weeks. I thank the members for participating in today's meeting under the exceptional circumstances of Covid-19 restrictions. Apologies for having to curtail some speakers, our time was limited because of Covid restrictions.
