That was going to be my question about Part 3.
It is worth saying this Bill is now effectively two Bills in one. I am in favour of both but if I brought forward amendments like this to the Bill they would be ruled out of order three times from Sunday. That being said, I do not necessarily disagree with it. That is the answer to the question I was going to ask. Part 3 is related to a very different matter. Maybe we can get an answer through the Minister from the officials, but the other two Departments will presumably need to make regulations related to Part 3 as well. Can we have a timescale on the regulations from those Departments?
