With the committee's support, I would hope Report Stage could be held on Thursday, 9 July. In the interim, I ask members of the committee who have tabled amendments on this issue to agree to withdraw their amendments and to accept my absolute assurance in this regard. I am quite happy if members of this committee wish, next week, to sit down and discuss what amendments my Department proposes to table on Report Stage. I say that just in case members think I am trying to blindside anyone. Please believe me that I am being as open as possible but I am not in a position to publish amendments until court proceedings have been finalised.
