On that note, I thank the officials for being present. In particular, I thank Mr. French for his testimony and for his advocacy over a number of years. There are not many people, including Members of these Houses, who can say they single-handedly changed the law and were the cause of a new law being introduced. You, sir, can say that and you are an absolute credit to Valerie. Thank you again.

Is it agreed we publish the opening statement on the committee's website? Agreed. I thank everybody.
