In response to the point Deputy Daly made in respect of any code of practice and the relationship between section 8(1)(c) and the obligation on the mediator to furnish to the parties any code of practice he or she has, I believe that should be read in the context of section 9(1). I ask the Deputy to let me deal with that specific issue on Report Stage and not to press that particular amendment now. I will consider what she has said to see whether we can address the point she has made without incorporating the amendment before us, which, for reasons I have already given, conflicts with the current section 9 on the matter of there being more than one code of practice.

We must accept that reality.
