If may make a brief comment, again I appreciate the comments the Minister of State made. Another point I would make is that as we all know, there is a shrill and poisonous minority out there who have given people a hard time about public health measures, about vaccines and so on. We have all come across them. They represent the far right in an insidious and nasty way. My point is that building in more parliamentary oversight is important to try to negate some of the arguments, invalid as they are, that this group makes. Again, that is why I will press this particular amendment.
