I have to conclude the meeting now. Some people may have thought the it was due to go on for three hours, but that is not happening just yet. The meeting has to conclude now. I thank all our witnesses for coming here and sharing their experiences today. I thank all the members who spoke so well. This was a very interesting and thought-provoking discussion. With the introduction of some very simple measures, voting could become accessible and afford equality to disabled people. All of us here are involved in politics and those of us involved in political parties should do much more to ensure the inclusion of disabled people. We need to take responsibility for that, and we do.

This meeting is now adjourned. The next private meeting of the joint committee will be held on Thursday, 30 September at 9 a.m. followed by a public meeting at 9.30 a.m. I thank the witnesses and look forward to further engagement with them.
