That is not a question. It is just adding to what Dr. Hillyer has said in relation to the welfare of our young jockeys. I know of two young jockeys injured in the UK who were entitled to nothing when they came home here to their parents with broken backs. They are entitled to virtually nothing, including social welfare because of their age. It is important, therefore, that we minimise any risk and this can only be done through training. Would Mr. Osborne agree with this?
