I do not know that for certain, but we are going from a position at present in which one is disqualified after six strikes to being disqualified after three strikes instead of two. The complicating factor is the alignment of penalty points North and South, in which case we may need to go six, but new legislation will be required at that point. That could be the time to review it. We have the option between now and Report Stage to consult with members of the parliamentary party to see what they think.
