I will be very brief. I thank the Minister for his reply. I look forward to getting that letter. A holding letter is always acceptable. On the issue of the point being moot, the concern people have about these matters is that these measures can always come back. The very big question of whether it is actually constitutional to enforce these measures is hanging in the background. While the point might be moot with regard to the application of the provision now, given the very weighty issues at stake, the question needs to be answered regardless of what the regulations are.
