I want to give Mr. Light a chance to respond to that but I talk to restaurant owners and all of the evidence suggests that in actual fact they cannot get people to work for the wages because people cannot afford to live anywhere next nor near the places we want them to work. I do not imagine that it is a fear that low-income workers are suddenly going to be making loads of money. It is more likely that the housing prices and Government policies that have caused them are causing that particular pressure.
