Colleagues and members of a couple of the other parties are not present but I hope they will support my amendment. On the grounds that I would certainly like to engage with other parties to ensure I can put forward something very similar to amendment No. 22, with support from across the House, I propose to withdraw it. I will be reintroducing it and seeking to press it on Report Stage. I hope I can find a formulation that suits. I am happy to work with the Minister if there is a suitable formulation. I realise it might not be the case but I hope there is a formulation that is acceptable to everyone in the House. I would at least like a time period to be put in place to address the issue with the requirement. I will be seeking to put forward something to that effect.
