My amendment No. 3 has been ruled out of order. I am puzzled by that because in May 2012 on Second Stage, the Minister of State, Deputy Hayes, said that having examined similar legislation in other jurisdictions, he could see the merit of broadening the scope of the legislation to include bespoke construction supply contracts. I, too, would like an explanation as to why our amendments have been ruled out of order.
