I have a question. It has nothing to do with today's proceedings. I want to draw the attention of the committee to one issue that has been coming up, the question of directive counselling. I did not get satisfactory answers last week from the crisis pregnancy programme about where it is defined. Could we get our legal advisers to give us some help on this? What is the law in this country around directive counselling and where is it defined? Is it a crime? For example if, as Ms McDermott described, somebody is suggestive that a woman could go to England, is that illegal?
