I will have to take responsibility for that. To be honest, it never even dawned on me to do this. I am new to Europe and it is all new to me but I will certainly send any information on reports on which we are working to the committee, including those which we will be signing off on next week. I would love the chance for me and the officials to discuss what legislation might arise in these contexts. There is no imperative to instigate legislation in respect of what we are signing up to but there is a will to do so. Some of the legislative changes we are making to work-life balance, for example, and to ensure people get to spend more time with their children, are necessary but I do not get to make these decisions on my own - we have to do it collectively. I will certainly get for the committee all the documents on which we have been working in the past couple of years. I would love the opportunity to come back and talk about them with members.
