That is very welcome. I am sorry to be rushing it so much at the end. I thank all the witnesses for their engagement. From our perspective, the committee has agreed to do this pre-legislative stage today and try to examine it in detail as best we can. We are going to engage with other stakeholders after this. We will then ask the committee secretariat to do a report based on our deliberations here.

As I want to keep the legislative part of it moving on, I hope we can conclude the official pre-legislative scrutiny stage today. If there are any other questions that members feel were not answered, they should e-mail them to the secretariat and I will ensure they go to the relevant official. I will ensure they will have answers in full before we resume in two weeks. That facility is there for any members. I would like to have developed the after-school care questions a bit more, as well as the three-year and 15-year issues, but we can do that by e-mail through the secretariat. I appreciate that the witnesses will co-operate with us in that way.
