My view is that legal advice and research are two separate things. Us looking to see the research on this is entirely legitimate. I think if it were put in the public domain, we might understand some of the rationale here and so forth.

I have a question on this. The European Union Court of Justice in the Puškár judgment made clear the need to evidence any changes in EU law rights, that they be proportionate and justified. Where is, and will the Minister of State provide, the evidence to make sure we are in compliance with the Court of Justice of the European Union's Puškár judgement that we need to see the evidence to justify these types of changes that are put forward?
