In amendments Nos. 18 and 19, we are looking to remove the barriers to having conversations with the families and the survivors. I genuinely believe it is a simple ask. We want to delete the line in the Bill which says the Government may choose a certain memorial instead of other sites. Amendments Nos. 18 and 19 are very doable. We should be engaging with relatives and relevant people are around us. It would be interesting to hear the Minister speak on this. We have already heard him speak to the grouping. It is a pity that he cannot accept amendments Nos. 18 and 19.
