Indepth legal advice has been sought and obtained on this. The threshold that is being used is the appropriate threshold based on the legal advice we have received. If there are specific points the Deputy would like to raise today in regard to the report, he should by all means do so. The Deputy referenced the report, not specific points from it. If there are any points he would like bring into the mix today, he should do so. I can assure him that the matter has been examined in great detail. The thresholds set out in the Bill are the appropriate thresholds based on the legal advice to Government.
