There might also be eight lay members.

I will tease this out for a moment. It is not a case of a win-win situation regarding any amendment or set of amendments. It is about helping the process to get the best result. I wonder is there, in the Minister's indication of a willingness to look again at this, the prospect of not dividing on this and allowing Report Stage to be an opportunity for substantive address. I am only teasing this out because the question should be put. As things stand, we will drive into a division situation. Report Stage will still stand, but what suggests itself to me is a very strongly shared view of the committee that this matter be revisited. I am trying to interpret what the Minister said, but my sense is he is indicating a willingness to look again at this as best as he may be able. Is there something in this whereby we could reach some agreement here at this point?
