To follow up that point, these amendments make absolute sense. The proposers have put forward a good case. These are not controversial amendments. The Minister of State has basically not stated any rationale against them. He seems, effectively, to accept the amendments, while not actually accepting them. I am at a loss as to why they are not being agreed to now, seeing as no case is being put forward against them.
