I have two quick questions. Like others, I welcome the sectoral employment order. I think it is a good step. It may be out of step with where the market is at the moment regarding construction. There is certainly a great lack of electricians and a great lack of tradespeople in general. I ask Ms Coogan to outline one of the statements in the briefing note, which is that the sectoral employment order will guarantee a minimum rate of pay. Where is that in relation to the rates prevailing at the moment, does she think? What kind of security does that give?
