On that point, would it be acceptable to ask the Minister, when he comes in, whether it is a priority for his Department given that we are waiting on legislation for an independent noise regulator and the variation in speed limits on the M50? I tabled a parliamentary question to the Minister and received an answer implying that, over the past five years, not one person has been found to be in breach of the railway safety order in the workplace. I wonder whether dealing with the Bill in question is a priority and efficient use of our time given that we have other legislation and a fairly comprehensive work programme. Various Members across the political divide have other issues they want to see on the agenda. I wonder, therefore, whether it is a priority at all.
