I have tabled four amendments and they are all on a theme. They have all been ruled out of order because they are beyond the scope of the Bill. I understood the Minister would table amendments in line with those I have tabled. It is still my position that I would rather the Minister table amendments to do what we have tried to do in the amendments I tabled. This is to commit in black and white in primary legislation to bringing forward legislation within six months of the passing of this Bill to deal with the substantive issues regarding marine casualty investigation.

I have also tabled an amendment on the publication of the Clinch report, which should have been made available to the committee. It was a recommendation of the pre-legislative scrutiny. It would inform any further review and enhancement of marine casualty investigation. It should be available. It is the same with regard to the Lacey report. It should be published and made available.
