-----I can take a pedantic position too. Then we will not have a functioning committee. I am asking people to operate within the procedures laid down. The amendments are being withdrawn. The Minister has indicated that any revised amendments will be given to the committee in advance. There will be plenty of scope for engagement on that and Members can enter into correspondence with the Minister and the Department. I have not operated before on the basis of enforcing a rule and insisting that Members indicate what specific amendment they are speaking to, but if we wander like this, I will be forced to operate thus.
