I support Deputy Stanton’s point. The cost of tools is shocking. I am in a fortunate position in that I am able to support my son in this regard, but plenty of families really struggle. If there is an initiative forthcoming in this regard, it will be a really good way of trying to retain young apprentices who are trying to make their way in the world. I would very much encourage the initiative.

My last question is a follow-up. Did the Minister of State say we have 54 labour inspectors right now? Is that correct?
