I turn to previous recommendations of the Low Pay Commission. It obviously recommended the introduction of the sub-minimum rates. How quickly was that done and how much assessment was done? How much of a delay was there? Deputy Murphy has pointed out that there is a bit of a time lag between the recommendation and any potential action. How fast does it usually happen?
