Ms Gr?inne Teggart:

We welcome the Deputy's proposal; it would be an important step forward. We do not know what will happen but it would be great if the outworkings of that gave the UK Government further pause for that because it clearly says that if you do that, this will be the consequence. I cannot comprehensively answer the question on Jon Boutcher. The Deputy would need to speak directly to Jon Boutcher to find out where the blockages that he is dealing with are and how they have been addressed. I am afraid I cannot answer that question but in our engagement with Mr. Boutcher I am happy for one of us to get back to the Deputy on that. I would not try to offer an answer when it is better placed for Mr. Boutcher to address it.
