I was quietly waiting for the second round to start before I indicated. I know that nobody here has the answer to this question, but one of the things that worries me about the legislation is that once you need to deal with two Departments, the legislation falls down and collapses straight away and if you have to deal with five or six Departments, you may forget about it. Do the witnesses have an indication or ideas as to how to make the legislation strong enough that it will actually cross departmental bodies and how that could work?
