I appreciate the response by the Minister of State. I did not ask to him to make history, as I know it is unlikely that such a big step as this would take place today. In his explanation, the Minister of State has drawn the attention of the House to the difficulties in the private and public sectors. I was impressed when he said that legislation will be introduced next Friday to the effect that new entrants in the public service will not face an age limit. I ask him to explain that so I can understand exactly what will happen this week, and what legislation if any is involved.
