The Minister would be very welcome at any time before that committee.

The industry sits in a different place from where we spoke about earlier. I refer to the way the money is being spent in the horse racing industry, benefiting those who are very long established and very well established. We have an opportunity to do something that would reflect that the Government is prepared to fund not only those at the very top of the industry but also those at the bottom starting off. It would be appropriate to put some money towards it. Those concerned do not require very much. While I understand a report will be commissioned, could the Minister commit to putting a substantial plan in place for the industry as soon as it is prepared?
