That is perfect. I call Maurice Golden to wind up and indicate whether he wishes to press or withdraw amendment 15.

I wonder how, if the Parliament does not have a chance to scrutinise whether there is sufficient money available, we are ever going to reach the targets. Surely money will drive whether we can reach the targets. Is that what you are driving at? If it is, I wonder how the Government will look at that. I am interested in your views.

The result of the division is: For 6, Against 0, Abstentions 1.

Amendment 54 agreed to.
