I thank the Minister for coming to the House. Obviously, we are disappointed, but we appreciate the positive nature of the debate and hope something can happen in that regard. Naturally Governments will never be inclined to put measures in place that might delay what it thinks is right to do. It will take tremendous courage for this or any Government to put in place the measures we are proposing for the scrutiny of EU legislation, but it is vitally important that we do so. I agree with Senator Paul Bradford that it would not be difficult; it would be a matter of taking the decision to put these measures in place and I hope we can do this in the future.
