It has been pointed out to us that it might be difficult for an establishment that registered on 17 October 1988 to pay fees. I presume—with tongue in cheek—that we could ask the Executive whether it has considered that point, which might or might not apply. Perhaps no establishments registered on that date. Unless anyone is otherwise minded, we should put that point to the Executive.
I do not think that that point will apply in this instance—I would be surprised if it did. However, the Executive has made that error before—it has not learned from its mistakes.
Thank you. That was our longest ever meeting.
