Mr. Denis Egan:

The Deputy could apply to become a race day steward. There is a training scheme in place for all race day stewards. It takes about 12 months to qualify. It is important that all race day stewards are appropriately trained because they carry out a very important role. In terms of value for money, I want to stress that race day stewards receive no payment or travel expenses. They are not paid. Many of them sit on IHRB disciplinary committees. We are fortunate that we have a lot of experts in the industry. We have experts from all walks of life who voluntarily give their time to the IHRB for the benefit of the sport. That is often overlooked. I take this opportunity to pay tribute to the members who do that. The industry recognises the contribution that they make.
