This is highly technical. Some 24 amendments have been grouped together, a total of eight pages of amendments. I wish to make a point that we should be given an updated explanatory memorandum or an explanation of those amendments in advance of Committee Stage. It is very difficult to interrogate highly technical material. I think I understand the thrust of the 24 amendments and I do not have an objection to them but I make that point that this grouping comprises 24 of the 99 amendments to the Bill. It makes our job on this side very difficult.
