As I introduce my second question of the morning, I ask the Minister to have some respect for the Chamber and to update Members on the Bausch and Lomb issue. We have been trying to raise the matter but it was too late to table a question for this morning's business. It is a serious industrial issue and perhaps the Minister can update the Chamber.

With regard to the credit guarantee scheme, this is the baby of the Minister and he knows it is not working. It will take 48 years to reach the target on the basis of the current roll-out.

It is indicated in the legislative programme that amending legislation is intended. Can the Minister provide us with a flavour of that legislation and the changes it will involve?
