First, I obviously have amendment No. 38 and I will speak to that when we get to it. That is on a different point.

On my amendment No. 15, I understand the Minister's point that the requirements generally should meet that but it is still no harm to have it written in. That is why the amendment is important to include. I understand where the Minister is coming from on it and that he is saying that, realistically, with the competencies, it will be reflective of that but it would be important to include it.
