Thank you, Minister, for your answer. Minister, you will have noted that the Government recently announced a VAT cut for some family expenses for a range of activities over the summer. That is perhaps a change. Can you continue to press for a similar trial for VAT in the hospitality sector and offer Northern Ireland as the place to do that?
