I thank the minister. I note that ‘taking into account’ is very different to ‘giving effect to’. Perhaps the minister could take on notice, and confirm before the end of this debate, whether he is minded to send this, once the act has passed—because we are having this debate now and, as I said earlier, it is too late to send the draft legislation—to the ILO. My second question is whether, if the ILO has a different opinion to the government as to whether the legislation meets ILO conventions, the government will then seek to amend it to ensure that it does conform to the various ILO obligations. I would appreciate an answer to that question too, please.
