I thank the Minister of State for his reply and for offering to bring this matter to the interdepartmental committee. While they do not fall directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of State some issues arise from the way this is distorting retail competition. Retailers in town centres are forced to put up with these charges while they do not affect those out of town. There are many other issues surrounding this, with policies differing between towns and counties, and often between streets within a town. It is important that the interdepartmental committee consider this and I look forward to hearing further from the Minister of State about it.
