Yes, the amendment is being pressed, and while I accept that the Minister does not want to take on my proposals - although I would not agree with her analysis of them - I certainly cannot accept that she says that there may or may not be a problem. We know that there is a problem. The reason we have a CLRG looking at section 599 is because it has been identified as not functioning. We know that this is being exploited. Whether or not the Minister agrees with my solution, I would be concerned if she has not recognised that there is a problem.
