I would defend to the last the Deputy's right to raise issues. He has been raising the issue but we do, at some stage, have to move the process on. I am simply saying to him at this juncture that we can allow the referral if Members wish and they do not have to allow it if they do not wish to. It can go to committee to be considered by it and we can have the debate here afterwards if that is required.
