The Minister is duly entitled to do so and my party has indicated that we will be supportive of this. I was advised that my amendments were ruled out of order because they were not alcohol-related and this Bill is an alcohol-related road traffic measure. I am sure that the Chairman will acknowledge that the Minister will bring forward amendments on learner permits, which are not related to alcohol. I intend to reintroduce some of my amendments that have been ruled out of order and to introduce a new amendment. For clarity, why were my amendments ruled out of order?
