I do not know whether I welcome it or not at this stage as my head is getting a bit fried by going back and forth. It shows the Minister is considering the matter.

It is odd that, on one hand, we are taking powers away from the controller and, on the other, we seem to be ensuring it has some role in the appeals process initially. I would have to see the wording in order to see how it complies. As a procedural question, if we do not conclude today, can the Minister bring that forward in September?
