Okay. That's very good. If I can just talk about data, what progress have you made towards improving the data availability about the UK's internal market?

Okay. Thank you very much. And finally at this stage from me, how could awareness amongst businesses of the UK internal market Act and its market access principles be improved? Do you see a role for the Office for the Internal Market in this?

Short Debate: It’s the economy stupid!: How can devolution make it work for workers and Wales?
Can I also add that I'm a very proud trade unionist? Thank you, Hannah Blythyn, for giving me a minute in this debate. I agree with everything you've just said. We've had a growth in exploitative contracts, not just zero-hour contracts, but many with low…
