I thank the Minister for that import into the debate. I am very supportive of what he is now talking about. As Senator Clifford-Lee said, with a group as diverse as 17, clearly a number of whom will be non-legal people, the individualised training is good. I am sure the standing orders of the committee when it is set up can facilitate the different needs. All that would be required in the amendment that the Minister will bring back for Senator Higgins is that a fund would be available for training, and that it could be drawn down as appropriate for each of the members. I accept the Minister's bona fides and I will wait to see something coming back on Report Stage.
