I congratulate the Minister of State on the Bill. The intention of the Bill is certainly worthy of support. Any efforts made on Second and Committee Stages were to improve the Bill in some form or other. I appreciate the work of the Minister of State and his team in explaining the points made. Second and Committee Stages were most worthy. Several Government amendments have been taken and therefore the Bill must go back to the other House anyway. That is the basis on which I believe it could have been improved. The Minister of State has explained well why he did not accept the amendments put forward and I appreciate that. I congratulate the Minister of State.
