Does the Minister not think that we are limiting ourselves with regard to future flexibility by signing up to all of these given that we cannot pull back from them? For example, if the Government had a plan about capacity and reception, a reception standard would form part of that. There have been great pressures on those facilities over the past number of years.

Does the Minister not think we are risking infringement proceedings or penalties by signing up to every single one of the regulations?
