I am reluctant to intervene but we may not discuss an amendment that is not in order. It was not ruled out by the Minister but by me on advice from the Bills Office, specifically because the Deputy proposed the establishment of a committee, which has the potential to impose a charge on the Revenue. As someone who has been a Member for some time, the Deputy will be well aware that it is not open to an Opposition Deputy to make such a proposal.
