On the basis that the Minister of State is not available and that the Leader has given a commitment to the effect that he will be here next week, I will not push the matter. I am well aware that people on all sides want progress regarding the pay and conditions of councillors. It is an extremely serious matter that councillors going about their democratically-elected business are worse off now as a result of so-called improvements. I would like the Minister of State to have some answers to our questions when he comes in, as well as a timeline for the completion of his review to which we can look forward.
