To briefly respond to the Minister of State, a six-month review of this is necessary to see what the level of deadweight on this is. It is a very significant expenditure that is going to prevent the Government from investing in other areas. The Minister of State talked about assessment of employment levels and so on, but the review I propose refers to prices as well. Given that there is such a significant expenditure involved, it is appropriate that we would have a review to see what the impact is, if any, on prices or profit levels for the larger fast food chains and so on.
