They can meet and discuss issues. In catering, they came up with sensible proposals relating to double time on Sundays and agreed the process. They are now going through the statutory process, striking new rates that will be soon in force and addressing the issue of Sunday trading for restaurants and pubs that serve food.

There is a hotels forum meeting as we speak to strike new rates. The Deputy cannot have it both ways, he cannot come into the House and make things up.
