Before I finish, on a question to Ms Loughran, it seems to me that the Bill has the appearance of acknowledging that we have to have MPAs because it is in the programme for Government and in our international obligations, so here then is a Bill that does that, as opposed to asking why we want to have MPAs, what we want to achieve with them and that being central to the Bill. I would welcome Ms Loughran’s comments.
