I want to ask the minister a question about government amendment (8). I apologise if it was answered while I was walking down to the chamber. I would like an explanation about that amendment. Looking at it, it seems as though there is a concern about the presiding officer—the tribunal member or the judge—being able to keep a record of the interview and the decision. Is there a concern that the tribunal member should not be able to write down and keep record of it? Is it so that it cannot be asked for later? Could the minister explain the rationale behind government amendment (8)?
