The grouping is predominantly technical and deals with the issue of what may be included, the language and so forth. Some of the concerns in the supplementary amendments will arise on group 3. I had one question on amendment No. 24 in respect of the digital signature but I have had clarification from the Minister of State's officials, which I am sure he will confirm, that this is only a digital signature in respect of the Electronic Commerce Act and does not extend to any other digital signatures that may be used in other contexts. The phrase is used in other contexts although the meaning seems clear here. While I am satisfied, the Minister of State might reconfirm that fact.
