I am sorry that I missed part of the meeting. I will read the contributions in the Official Report. I thank the witnesses. Ms Roche spoke about a wasted opportunity if we do not do something and put something back in. The contributions have highlighted that it would have been a terrible wasted opportunity if we did not have pre-legislative scrutiny, allowed the Bill to proceed and ended up with a referendum on 26 October without any discussion or understanding of what is at stake. We all have a lot to learn but if we do not listen, we will not learn. A discussion in some form of assembly would have a lot to offer.
