I do not want to go against what the Minister says is very strong advice. I do not know from whom the advice came but I think it is unnecessarily restrictive. The Minister has made the case himself in the points he has made, but it is just very hard to understand. I certainly hope there will not be issues that arise very soon in this regard and in regard to the availability of appropriately qualified staff. As I said, we do this in a whole lot of other areas and in respect of other schemes, and it is very hard to understand the Minister's advice.
