No, even though I was beginning to get a little confused by the Minister of State's reply, because I was thinking of the passage into force of our legislation rather than the commencement of the full convention. However, the Minister of State has reassured me that we stand in a good position to be able to be there when the convention comes into force and that is the crucial point. I understand there may be areas that need to be tidied up on the advice of the Army. I hope the Minister will issue an order immediately when these requirements are satisfied and tidied up. I see no problem with regard to us having the legislation enforced domestically in advance of the full convention coming into effect. I am happy with and accept the Minister of State's response.
