The government opposes this amendment. It is of the view that it is not necessary to try to define in legal terms that which is legible or not legible. When I go to a doctor every now and then—thank goodness, not very often—I am given this scribble which I cannot read but the chemist or the pharmacist is able to understand without any difficulty whatsoever. I suggest that there is no need for this proposed amendment.
