I thank the Minister of State. What he is offering is great in terms of regulation. I would like to have seen it in primary legislation because that is there forever. I am talking about legacy, not a different Minister coming in in a few years with a different attitude or emphasis. He is offering regulation. He has given a commitment that he will endeavour to do it. It needs to be stronger than recommending. We need to compel them. We should be able to find common ground on it. I am accepting in good faith what the Minister of State is saying, but I ask him to give it some impetus. He may need to engage with the County and City Management Association, CCMA, about facilities and factors. Long term, this is another layer in the data and I accept the Minister of State's commitment to the regulations. I am happy to withdraw the amendment on the basis of his promise. I am not seeking to re-enter it. I accept his response.
