I agree. The point I was making is that it is provided for in the legislation. It is caveated, one would argue, by the further text, which Deputy Whitmore's amendment would delete. It must recognise that in this particular instance it must take account of the exceptional circumstances of this legislation. The text was included in the 2022 Act on the advice of the Attorney General and repeated here. It was on the basis of that advice that I decided, unfortunately, that I could not accept the amendment. The text was recommended by the Attorney General and we accepted the advice.
