It is not good enough that the Minister can wave his power over the heads of former prisoners and say that if he thinks it is okay, he will give them the licence. We are talking about a point of principle and that is the reason we will press the amendment and put it to a vote. I hope that people in this House who voted for the Good Friday Agreement will vote for this amendment. A vote against this amendment is a vote against the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement.
