For the record, I would never, ever describe Daniel Johnson as “silly”. That said, I will not detain members for much longer—there is no need to add anything substantial to my original comments.
I am struck by the fact that, while some of the amendments are technical and enjoy the support of the cabinet secretary, some are about operational and delivery issues. It worries me that we have not alighted on a clear model of delivery. It is clear that, if the bill passes, there is more work to do on that. If it is to be successful, good law requires thought from those legislating to consider implementation and delivery. It would have been helpful to do more work in that regard and I am sure that, if the bill passes, more will be done.
I press amendment 240.
