As long as it is commenced, obviously. I want to stress the urgency of commencing this Act for making sure insurance contracts are fairly balanced and that they cannot use exemptions dating back to the 1600s to avoid an insurance claim or use language that is not comprehensible for an ordinary consumer. It is important that we move quickly. I note the Minister of State's indication that he is hopeful to go in that direction.
