Will the Minister of State reconsider this proposal and call a meeting of all the Deputies who have spoken here? It is a shame that none of the Government Deputies have come into the House to debate this issue because they will have to deal with it in their constituencies. They will not understand how it will affect people in their local authority areas.

I support these amendments.
