I thank the Minister. What she said is most interesting.

An allied concern is that if we have law firms, access to law might become more difficult. If we allowed correct access to barristers, it might become less difficult. That should be considered. Will the firms with large numbers of partners comprise a means of excluding those on low or below-average incomes from gaining access to the law? There is concern over corporatisation. However, I thank the Minister for her most interesting and informative responses on my amendments. I will not be moving amendments Nos. 35 to 38, inclusive.
