On a point of order, I wish to correct the record in case the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport was not aware of the position regarding the motion. It was not being put through the House without discussion. Ample discussion and consultation took place at a cross-party committee which met on four occasions. The motion being put to the House was a joint motion.
