I look to my clerks for advice on that. That might be difficult to do over such a short timescale, but, on the back of the information that we get from the minister, we could make further decisions on how to proceed.

Amendment 34, in the name of the minister, is grouped with amendments 49 to 53, 57 and 58.

I invite the minister to wind up.

Do any other members want to comment?

I am conscious that we do not want to start a conversation here. Minister, you are winding up, and if Ms Grahame wishes to intervene, she can do so. Will you please continue?

Amendment 46, in the name of the minister, has already been debated with amendment 45. I remind members that, if amendment 46 is agreed to, amendment 4 will be pre-empted.

Amendment 46 moved—[Jim Fairlie].

The question is, that amendment 46 be agreed to. Are we agreed?
