There is a connection. If we are saying that we are working to try to give the victim the choice, then we need to do that work. I am slightly concerned that the Minister of State said the information would be given if possible. There should not be a situation where the information is not available in an accessible format. I am trying to envisage a scenario whereby that information would not be available. It would be pretty serious if we could not give a choice of the type of information, for example, a choice between information being given orally or in writing. I do not have a particular problem with providing information by electronic means if the person has a computer. If the Minister of State will look at it again to try to reinforce the choice element we will withdraw the amendment in today's spirit of goodwill, but it is a key point so I am little bit worried about why the information would not be there.
