Congratulations to you, Minister, and to your colleagues and to the women, as you pointed out so powerfully, who have been part of this endeavour. We have arrived at a point where we have a roadmap ahead of us to ensure a safe space and safe participation for women in all aspects of our musical and theatre tradition. As the Minister pointed out in her contribution, not alone are there going to be very significant impositions placed on the bodies that represent the sector but there is also going to be a very comprehensive set of resources and tool kits available. It is exceptionally important that, as a condition of funding, organisations in receipt of grant funding must confirm that they have taken all the necessary actions over complaints of poor behaviour. We also need to provide some of these organisations that do not have the in-house expertise to be able to develop good practice within their organisations to access resources online or wherever else that allows them to do exactly that. I stress again that this is an equally important part of the endeavour. Well done on providing that. That brings us to the conclusion of this session.
