No. I do not, actually.

Can the Minister give us those figures? We are entitled to them. We are getting to the point of high farce in the House. Has any regulatory impact assessment been carried out in light of the Minister's political intervention a few weeks ago when he completely changed the map involved in this? Has a regulatory impact assessment been carried out? If it has, the Minister would surely have the figures. If it has not, we should abandon this shambles at this point. I strongly support other speakers who have said that we cannot possibly consider this legislation adequately in the absence of those key figures. A proposal has been made that we adjourn for 30 minutes so that the Minister can go off and get a full briefing from his officials. That would be the sensible thing to do. People looking in at tonight's debate must be horrified at the level of incompetence being displayed by the Government. It is bringing the entire House into disrepute.
