As a very brief follow-on, has the Minister had any discussion with the Policing Authority in this limbo? Given that it is for the chop, it must make life very difficult while it awaits the Minister's new legislation. Does the postponement of the decision to replace someone in the authority, which was supposed to be before the committee this week and which is not now being taken, have anything to do with this or will the Policing Authority be beefed up to its full complement while we await the legislation? What is the story there?
