I thank the Minister for attending. It is nice when legislation has support from all sides. He worked hard to get here. I congratulate him and his officials in that regard. Equally, I congratulate and thank all the Members for their participation in a process that has brought this matter to a successful conclusion.

Question put and agreed to.
