The Minister of State would go a long way to convince us that is true if, in the same way he withdrew amendment No. 25, he would withdraw amendments Nos. 12, 13, 40, 41, 42 and 47. Maybe he could let us know if he is serious about that and save us the bother of having a needless debate because otherwise this is going to be guillotined through. We are not going to reach most of the amendments. I do not know what he means when he says he is open to co-operation because whatever is said here is going to make absolutely no difference because, at whatever time, all the Minister of State's amendments will just be through and that will be the law. I am not sure what the Minister of State means when he says he is interested in co-operating.
