The transcripts can be read. The words said can be read. There was no conditionality and had the Minister of State made it a condition of us not pressing amendment No. 9 and made his vote for amendment No. 11 conditional on not supporting amendment No. 9, we would not have accepted such conditionality. However, no conditionality was ever made and the transcript, which anybody can read, will show that. I am disappointed in the Minister of State.
