I am happy to withdraw the Labour amendment on the basis of what the Minister has said but seek further clarification on the relationship that will exist between the research council and the board proper. The Minister will have addressed this, possibly on Second Stage and on prelegislative scrutiny stage, and he will forgive me if he is going over old ground on this one. In responding, I ask the Minister to give me a sense of what the dynamic of that will be, whether one is subservient to the other and it is a hierarchical relationship, and what is the feedback loop on that like?
