I welcome the Minister's further intervention. We can have a meeting of minds here. I accept that the Minister understands that the word "safe" will be used and abused - that is for sure. The purpose of my putting forward amendments is not to be able to catch the Minister out or to say that this is the case; it is always about trying to make the legislation the most fit for purpose that we can arrive at. On that basis, I am willing to draw a breath at this point and I will revisit it over the intervening period. I will not press my amendments at this point and we can see what we can do with this on Report Stage. The Minister will give it further consideration along the lines he suggested, I will do the same, and perhaps we will end up ticking the box together, so happy days.
