On behalf of the committee, I thank the officials from the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the Environment, Climate and Communications and Housing, Local Government and Heritage for engaging with us today on this urgent issue for the horticulture and nursery sectors. We are not happy after our engagement. I am not throwing stones at the officials, but we are not happy. I am seriously worried for the future of those industries in this country. We will have a private meeting in the morning and we will have to discuss, as a committee, what we can do to advance the situation. At the moment, however, I am seriously concerned about the financial viability and survival of those industries. I know the members of the committee share my views. I propose that we hold a private meeting on Microsoft Teams tomorrow at 9 a.m. Is that agreed? Agreed. That concludes our proceedings for today.
