I support the point made about the inspectors because of what I said previously about our fear of privatisation of the inspection service. It would be better if this was done by county councils or the agency. It raises the question of accountability and who is responsible from a legal perspective. I believe I mentioned that earlier. Fracas might ensue as there is much heat in regard to this Bill. People have said they will prevent anyone from doing an inspection. If somebody is prevented from doing an inspection, where does that leave us legally? I asked earlier about the Attorney General and the advice on that. Perhaps the Minister will clarify that because it is important in regard to the inspectors. At least if the inspectors are part of the apparatus of the county councils or the agency, these issues might not arise.
