No other member wishes to speak, so I ask the minister to wind up.

Mr Simpson, I understand your point, and I will turn to the minister. Of course the minister will get bits of paper passed to her—I would expect briefings from my clerks—because she cannot have everything right there. That is the point of having the officials around the table, so I am not going to accept that criticism of her.

Minister, I am happy for you to wind up now.

Thank you very much. I am just looking around to see whether any other member wishes to contribute.

I call Maurice Golden to wind up and press or withdraw amendment 207.

Thank you very much, minister, and thank you to your officials. The bill will now go to the chamber for stage 3 consideration on a date that is yet to be determined.

We will have a short pause to allow a change of witnesses.
