I should point out to the Deputy that the amendments I am proposing address the issue. We can consider section 16(1) in the Bill as originally framed, which reflects all the language in the amendment proposed by the Deputy in so far as it is necessary to do so. The suite of amendments we are proposing address the matter in an appropriate way so I suggest to the Deputy that there is no need to move his amendment, as we have dealt with the matter. He is clearly free to make his own decision.
