There are no more speakers offering. Before I hand over to the Minister, I have to say that, since I came in this evening, the constructive debate that is taking place is good to see and watch. I thank all Members for their contributions and the way they were made. The Minister must be smiling with all of the compliments he has received over the past two hours or so. This is clearly a very important issue for all Members and I am sure that the Minister has taken into account the many contributions that have been made from every side of the House. I now ask the Minister to address the House and the various comments that have been made.
