I thank Mr. Godfrey and his colleagues for their time this morning. There are a couple of issues I wish to raise. In regard to comments on cartels, Mr. Godfrey said he was going to act on it in respect of recent times and that he is going to investigate and check it out. Over the past 18 months, has a regular audit been carried out? What is the case in that scenario?

I might also ask in regard to the display pricing information that has to be clear, what are acceptable reasons for not doing so? If display signs are, for example, faulty or the company has issues in resolving them, are there consequences if a company is found to have breached that requirement?
