This is a crude device. I do not see the Minister of State accepting this amendment. I am guessing he will knock it out of the park. We should forget about putting notices on sites but there is an issue around the ability of a subcontractor in circumstances where a schedule of payments has been agreed with a main contractor to check that those payments have been processed and made. That is the net point. I do not think there is any serious suggestion that the Minister of State would detail somebody to erect notices across the countryside, but there is merit in being able to tract that.
