I commend the Minister and his staff. This is extensive legislation that covers myriad issues that have been around for a long time. Some of the more modern problems we have, such as those relating to scramblers, needed to be dealt with effectively. I still have some fear about the issues relating to public space and so on but it is nonetheless a great advance on where we are. The issues of e-scooters, electric bikes and so on, and how they will be governed in future, are something we will probably return to, given they will be developed more and more as time passes, but it is good work and I commend the Minister and all his staff on all the work that has gone into it. My predecessor dealt with most of its passage and, therefore, I commend him and everyone else who made a positive contribution to advance some good legislation, which is what we need to do in this House.
