Can I make it clear that I am speaking to the same amendments, but I take the minister’s point that the matters raised are matters best raised after the committee is established and, the amendments, as I understand it, allow for contextual factors. In terms of any international agreements, I see the thrust of the amendments and what the focus will be, and I do take the point that it is peripheral in the context of these particular amendments.

Question agreed to.
