On amendment No. 50 and the consideration that such amounts be taken into consideration in determining the budget for integrity services under subsection (1), if the Turf Club is receiving funds from elsewhere to do something, that the Exchequer funding needs to be taken into account is definitely part of it. However, we also need to ensure we maintain appreciative independent functions for the Turf Club in order that it is not cut to the bone and there is leeway such that it does not impinge on its integrity services.
