I suspect most other issues have been covered. When the IHRB and HRI attended the committee at the start of May, concerns were raised by many members in respect of the pace at which the recommendations of the committee were being rolled out. At that meeting, Mr. Osborne stated he was satisfied that progress was being made on all fronts. It was clear, however, that it was not as cut and dried as was being made out at that stage. One of the delays related to the provision of CCTV cameras in stable yards. We were told that was due to arrive in autumn. Is that still the position of HRI? At what stage is the process now compared with the situation at the start of the month, for example? Are our guests still happy that, come autumn, the likes of CCTV cameras and all that will be in stable yards?
