I listened to the Minister of State's response and will withdraw amendment No. 21 to give us time to reflect on her remarks and to come back with an amendment that might better reflect my contribution. Our core argument is that a minor, or even relatively serious offence, such as the example I gave, can lead to three separate charges.

That issue is more pertinent than the matter addressed by the Minister of State. Perhaps it would be preferable to withdraw the amendment and submit a reworded amendment on Report Stage.
