I ask the Minister to let me know if the impact statement has ever been completed. When is it likely to be published? I have little doubt that this assessment will assist His Majesty’s Government to reconsider the exemption or, at the very least, help support the sector. I cannot stress enough the urgency for the Government to reconsider or delay these increases, as we are already hearing that services in this sector are going to be cut and jobs lost. It is already a reality.
