I respect what the Minister of State is saying. I have great time for the Attorney General, who offered contrary advice to the Government. The Government felt obliged to take that advice. In view of the matters being put into the public arena, it is preferable to have a full seven judge court examine all aspects in full detail. If there is doubt, it will be removed or referred back to the Legislature and the Government. Hopefully, the President in his wisdom will decide to call in the Council of State and have such consultation and referral.
