I do not agree, based on the fact that legislation should constantly be reviewed, that this always happens. That is clearly not the case, as we have seen in the case of many pieces of legislation. We need only look at the position of the Clerys workers to identify the inadequacies of that legislation. Given the concerns raised and that we are talking about the teaching profession, it would be appropriate for a review of the legislation to take place within the timeframe set out in the amendment. The findings of the review could then be debated.
