I thank Mr. Bowes. I was particularly struck by Ms Walsh's contribution. At the last meeting we had with other witnesses, many of them said that this is a real opportunity that is nearly but not quite there. Ms Walsh described it as being not an upgrade but a modification. Will she elaborate on this? I apologise for asking her to repeat herself if she has answered this already. What are the easier wins, so to speak, in this legislation that are being missed? Are there very clear gaps that our report should ensure are prioritised?
