Ms Clare McNamara:

The black list will be part of the Bill, so changing it will require primary legislation. However, what we will be including in the legislation in terms of that list will be incredibly comprehensive. Bear in mind that the entire scheme, including the black and grey lists, was put out to consultation.

We have been comprehensive in the grey list's drafting, but that is not to say that we would not be open to expanding it in future. Since we are discussing a Schedule to the Bill, I must look to my colleague. Will amending both lists require primary legislation? I think it probably would, as the Schedule would be set out in an Act. In that light, there would have to be good reason to amend them, but we are open to getting and considering feedback on what should or should not be included. The lists formed part of the public consultation and the feedback on what we had included was positive.
