As the Minister of State acknowledged, I have been raising this issue for some time. Is he in a position to put some kind of timescale on when he will make a decision and address the issue he has just outlined, that is not being able to work because your partner or spouse has come here under intra-company transfer is detrimental to a partner, spouse or family member? In many instances, people refuse to come here if that is the case. Will the Minister of State give a commitment to address this soon? I have been raising the issue for some time and perhaps it is time we make a decision one way or another.
