Mr. Paddy Lynn:

A neighbour of mine is highly positioned in a regulations committee and has regularly spoken here. It was he who advised me to find out where the advice for the Government is coming from. That led to my discovery of the expert group on future skills needs. I assumed I would then find reams of reports and work done on hospitality needs but it is just not there. I absolutely agree that AI and zero carbon are important issues but so is hospitality. I wrote a small piece on it being a Cinderella industry. I like the idea of the title and I think it very much fits hospitality. We are expected to do all the warming and welcoming things, the cooking and cleaning and plámásing but we are not paid or respected for it thereafter.
