I wish to comment on amendment No. 27, which was ruled out of order. The Minister may not be aware that an amendment to section 6(1)(a) has been agreed by the Minister of State. This has knock-on effects throughout the legislation. One of those effects relates to amendment No. 27 because the wording of this amendment is exactly the same as the amendment we have just agreed. The Minister should be aware that the Minister of State has said that he is going to look at amending the amendment we just passed. If that happens, there will be a knock-on effect but I am sure the Minister's officials will brief her on the importance of the amendment we passed earlier.
