My comments on the section relate largely to points that have already been made. The pre-legislative scrutiny report stated that while the general scheme aims to enable an employment permit system to respond quickly to changes in economic conditions, moves to prescribe the rules and regulations rather than primary legislation could potentially undermine public scrutiny. We have already had a discussion on this. I have not changed my position and I suspect the Minister of State has not changed his either.
