The Minister of State appears to be convinced that this issue is dealt with elsewhere in the Bill. I am not necessarily convinced, though I am happy to withdraw at this stage but I reserve the right to resubmit.

I am not convinced that measures elsewhere in the Bill will have the effect the Minister of State suggests.
