We can examine the amendments during the course of the meeting, although an explanation was given as to why each was ruled out of order, which I am sure the Deputy received. He refers to amendments Nos. 22 and 24, which are not at the beginning of the list of amendments. The first amendment in his name ruled out of order has the potential to increase a charge on the people and, therefore, must be ruled out of order according to Standing Order 178(3). I presume that each member who has had an amendment ruled out of order will have received an explanation. If the Deputy wishes to return to the matter, however, I am happy to discuss it again.
