This wording is exactly, word for word, the wording in Britain. We do not unfortunately as an Opposition party have the benefits of the guidance of the Attorney General but this is why we have detailed legislative scrutiny. This is exactly what Zurich, Aviva, Alliance, AXA and all the other companies have to do with regard to their accounting. They have to have it audited for the FCA in Britain.

If they have to do that for policies they are issuing in Northern Ireland and Britain, should that same type of transparency apply here?
