If I am wrong, I will be happy to accept all her amendments with regard to any reasonable measure. There is no trick here, although the Senator probably does not believe me. The only justice for saying that is to think of the people I am trying to reach. They are the people who created not only their own job but, in the main in this country, tens of thousands of jobs for other people. These are not chancers, not that we have legislation for chancers. These are self-starters. These are people who have provided their own employment. They will not want to stay on the live register and they will want to get off it. This is just to give them a break. I ask the Senator to withdraw the amendments and I will come back to her tomorrow. If I am wrong, I am happy to say I am wrong and we will fix it. If I am right, I hope the Senator will be happy to say I am right.
