It is legitimate for those of us on this side of the House to question the nature and amount of the charge. If I was on the Government side, I suppose I would also be attempting to defend the indefensible. That is the nature of politics. I reiterate that it is acceptable for the Opposition to question both the concept and the amount of a charge. A registration system is already in place in this jurisdiction but there is none North of the Border. The UK Government has not even reached agreement in the context of introducing registration.
