Based on the discussion, I am happy to withdraw the amendment but as someone who has represented people in fitness to practice forums, it is imperative the people who are practicing under these regulations and under this legislation are given as much clarity as possible.

They and members of the public need to understand, as we do, that this is a public safety issue. To be fair to the people who are practising, regardless of which profession, we need to be in a position to give them the maximum amount of clarity. On the basis of the suggestions made today, can we take it that these discussions will take place while we are in recess, subject to everybody's calendar commitments, and that every effort will be made to have these issues resolved before we resume in the autumn?
