I refer the committee to the slide on stabilisation and core retail sales. The graph shows a positive trend. The retail sector employs perhaps 250,000 people in the domestic economy and, although we are hearing a lot of external positivity, the main concern is growth in the domestic economy. What are the growth figures in retail? What products or services have those been in? Is it white goods? What retail is shifting?
