Regarding the voucher scheme, I will work with my colleagues to consider all necessary targeted measures to help reboot tourism, which we agree will face particular challenges during the recovery phase when the economy reopens. I reiterate that I am open to considering everything and anything that will help the tourism sector to reboot.

On the outdoor dining grant, we had this conversation last week. It has been very well-received by the sector. I am not hearing this cry for help from the sector that the Deputy mentioned. The grant has been well received. The applications are open. Of course, if it all dried up then we would look at it again. However, I have not received any communication from anyone in this sector who feels there is not enough money. I just want to make that point clear to the Deputy.
