I cannot because it is a new section; that is the difficulty. I am proposing that the reply be within three months. I welcome the Minister of State's amendment. However, if within the three months the Minister determines they cannot be considered within the time period provided under section 18(2) he should be required to write back to the person within that initial period and there would be no longer than a further three months to deal with it.
