On the face of it, this is a fairly cumbersome procedure which will only work if there is good faith all round. It would be possible for Ministers to circumvent or undermine the procedure if they wished. There are a number of opt-outs in the legislation which I acknowledge could be seen as a weakness. It relies on the Minister using the discretion granted to him or her by the Bill in a fashion which is within the spirit of the Bill. One could decide that everything is urgent, therefore there is no need to bring anything to the committee. One could decide that everything it is convenient to label confidential should be labelled confidential. Therefore it would be possible, if a Minister really wanted, to avoid this process altogether, which would be a tragedy. I accept the bona fides of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform who in recent months have tried to work a process which is similar to this. I accept their bona fides in accepting the Bill and in saying they will operate within the spirit intended. It is in all our interests that this should happen. It is not a party political issue as such.
