Yes, but it is a serious point. We are setting ourselves a very difficult task to tease through this stuff within a week to consider amendments and have staff draft amendments. I am agreeing to this but I am also saying that I am not so sure, even with the best will in the world from everybody, that we will able to do this right. We may have to review it, which is being eminently reasonable. The Minister of State still has not answered a range of the questions, but given that we will meet about this again, perhaps the best way to do it would be as an informal working group. We could set a couple of hours aside next week to tease this out without the formality of an open committee hearing. This is the way for us to do this. I would like to see that meeting happening next week.
