That is interesting. A lot of points have been raised in this discussion about small and medium-sized businesses. I want to raise a point about big businesses. I would like to get an idea as to what extent big businesses are profiting from exploitative, sub minimum wage rates for under-20s. It was mentioned earlier that Applegreen is one company that employs people at sub-minimum wage rates. Is that information correct?
