All I can say is that it will depend on various factors, not least of which is a report from the Commission on Electronic Voting. I cannot give an indication of the date because it relates to that report. When we have that report there will be a further opportunity to discuss the introduction of legislation on count rules. There is no urgency. The important thing is to get it right. When we have all the information that is required and the legislation on the count rules is prepared, we will bring it forward. I am not being evasive. Nobody could give a precise date.

Amendment put.
