I will make two points to Deputy Penrose. The report will be ready for publication shortly. I had one concern. Some 23 submissions were received but only four came from self-employed people. It is a bit of a misnomer when one has public consultation on self-employment that 19 of the 23 submissions are from employers. I was a bit miffed by that. I am considering seeking submissions again, specifically to target self-employed persons. The report might otherwise be complete. I could issue an interim report, but I think we will wait for the complete picture.
