My position is that I absolutely hold fast to the importance of a lay majority. I think that is crucial and central. There are strong views reflected here on the proposed methodology. I favour a more integrated engagement on the consideration across any and all of the appointments to be made. I share that view in advance of taking the vote. Is the amendment being pressed?
