I congratulate the Minister on the passage of the Bill. Today was not a very exciting event; the debate did not really take off to any degree. He will seldom have it to himself to that extent.

The objective of a low pay commission is worthy of support but we should always remind ourselves, and I am sure we will, that some jobs do not exist at certain rates. In making sure that we have a Low Pay Commission that will investigate and look to see what we can do, let us remember that it is more important to have a job sometimes even if it is not paying as much as we would want otherwise.

I congratulate the Minister and say well done.
