I thank the Member for giving way. Just a moment ago, the Member was listing some of the issues around what this is going to cost the Department and the pressure that that will place on it. The Bill sponsor has been very quick to get up to answer your other point. I know that she has been frustrated about the number of contributions in the debate and the fact that some of the points have been repeated. I have heard the points around costings repeated again and again, yet I have not heard any response from the Bill sponsor that gives us any detail to show that she has given any consideration to what this is going to cost or of the impact that it will have on the normal, everyday duties of the Department for Infrastructure.
