But we know that, in Cardiff, for example, for rugby internationals, major sporting events, the price of hotels goes up substantially, and whether the levy should be able to be increased accordingly.

You can't give us any examples now of where it happens. No. Okay, fine. Please share it with us—through you, Chair. And finally from me, a concern was expressed about the lack of detail included in the Bill regarding a visitor levy premium. Do you feel that…

The bit of my question that perhaps I didn't—. I hope you can hear me. The bit of my question that I didn't make clear: where in the world do they do that? I mean, there are over 50 countries with tourism levies of one kind or another. Which one does that?

Thank you for that answer then. I'm coming back to you, I'm afraid, or pleased. You've advocated that a 'pitch' within the definition of visitor accommodation be reviewed. You've also mentioned business falling below a certain threshold for their annual…

Can I say to Bluestone I think you've got an excellent venture there? My wife and my children have been there with grandchildren, and really enjoyed it. They speak very highly of it. It's not cheap, though, is it? If you wanted to go in February for three…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. We’ve talked about this to everybody we’ve talked to today and previously, so I’ll paraphrase at this stage. Do you think that under-18s should be exempt?

A last question. This has been happening around the world. France brought it in at the beginning of the last century. Are there any lessons that we can learn from what's happened in the rest of the world? Particularly, will we expect, if we have a tourism…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. This is to the FSB. Your evidence mentioned that the committee should consider whether the legislation should provide a power for Ministers to change where the revenue from the levy is channelled—rather than a local forum.
