I think the Minister made a really good point about the Government continually setting up tribunals, which is an enormous waste of taxpayers' money. It costs an extortionate amount of money and rarely results in any kind of justice or accountability. Ultimately if we have something like a stand-alone body for corruption, that would probably be more effective. The Minister made a really good point, but he has just reinforced the arguments I made.

I apologise for the confusion, Chairman. I do not understand how, when I do not press one amendment, the other ones fall. Do I need to call a vote on this one to ensure the other ones go through?
