It has been raised with me, and it is one of the reasons why we took seriously the recommendation that the provision of a guest tap, featuring a local producer's product, could be part of getting a licence. That would be very important for our local producers. We do not have the power…

Yes, but it was the Member's initiative that brought that forward. Frankly, I am a little surprised that he has not realised or mentioned the other consequences that it will have.
