I wish to raise one or two points. Earlier, I referred to a shift in Government defence policy. This is a matter which the committee needs to discuss. If our guests have any suggestions with regard to legislative underpinning, perhaps they might send them on to us. There is also the question of meaningful engagement with employers. There are the various employer bodies and then there are single traders. That is an interesting aspect of the matter. I am not sure whether employers or the organisations which represent them have already commented on this to our guests or whether they have had any engagement with such organisations. Will they indicate whether such engagement has taken place?
