I agree strongly about the employment issue. I have met so many traders, particularly in the building industry, who are saying that they are really busy and would love to take someone on but that it is too much hassle and that with the red tape involved they are stretching jobs out instead. To get us from 6% unemployment to 4.5%, which is full employment, this is an area we must drill down into further as a committee, because it is quite a broad area. I fully endorse what Ms Barry is saying - we need to tackle that red tape.
