Sure, and as somebody who used to look at the research of profitability on sectors in a former life, some of that information is available but it is dated. It is incumbent upon the commission to ensure all that available information, however dated, is used and that there is up-to-date profitability information available to it. For employers to come along and allege that something is going to cost jobs and not have the evidence, that is a real issue for the Low Pay Commission. I hope when we have an engagement next year that there will be much greater research into profitability within sectors.
