Will the Minister of State clarify this point further? What he says is interesting in that he suggests it is within the passage of the Bill that these regulations are spelled out. However, I do not see them in the text of the Bill so how will that be done within the passage of the Bill? The Minister of State has unintentionally muddied the water because I am sure it must be after the passage of the Bill that he proposes to spell them out. The regulations may exist on paper somewhere in the Department but, as far as I know, they have not been laid before the House, although I could be wrong on this. I would welcome the Minister of State's illumination on this point.
