This is the pre-legislative stage and it is important that it is raised now rather than later. In practical terms it sounds crazy and it is important that we highlight it. While the purpose of the Bill is to save lives, we must not do it in a totally impractical way. The consensus is that this must be examined closely before it is put in legislation. This proves that it is good to have such discussions. After we have had all the stakeholders in, we will issue a report in which we can make our suggestions. From what we have heard today, this will be an aspect of it.
