Contribution

Before I conclude, I will give a bit of extraneous advice to noble Lords on all sides: never order food supplied by these food aggregators, since there is a 40% chance you will be ripped off. I was on the board of the Food Standards Agency until recently, and the public and noble Lords may think they are getting food cooked in a nice named restaurant with a good rating for taste, quality and hygiene, but up to 40% of that food is now cooked in virtual kitchens, multi-cook warehouses or some grubby, cheap joints under the arches, where the same cooks are mass-producing kebabs, pizzas, tikka masala, curries, burgers and what have you. That is just helpful advice so that noble Lords can avoid food poisoning, but that is for another day.
