The groups mentioned by the Deputy can make a significant contribution in this area. We do not have to wait for these agreements to be concluded for that to happen. They have been making a substantial contribution for as long as I can remember. They have always been to the fore in examining how people are treated, advising people and guiding them through this complicated and detailed process. I could not possibly say they should all be involved, but I would support any recommendation to the effect that they should be asked for their views on issues of this nature.
