As has been said, the scope of the Bill's Title is so broad that we submit it ought, at least, to encompass some of the amendments that have been ruled out.

Given that the Bill is a crisis measure, I cannot believe that its provisions should be of indefinite duration. There must be a finite period. The sunset clause intends to suggest that it ought to be for two years and I ask the Minister to accept it.
