I would tend to agree with Deputy Coppinger. It is quite usual. It is in no way outrageous or unusual to suggest that legislation would be reviewed. In fact, it would be quite arrogant of any Minister to come in and suggest that he or she is capable of writing legislation that should be immune to any review. The clause is a reasonable one.

I understand why amendments are ruled out of order. I further understand why the Minister has not any role in that. However, this is one that we can discuss.

I am flabbergasted, to be honest. It is a review. I do not know what the Minister would have to fear from a review.
