We welcome government amendment (7) and we'll support it. It is important that this kind of reporting happens in a timely way. There have been examples in other areas of government where discretion in terms of the timing of reporting has allowed reports to come in late, to be delayed, or, in some cases, issued at times that might seem, to the casual observer, to be designed to ensure they don't get that much attention. I think the degree of certainty in this amendment is an improvement on the bill as it was first put forward, and we'll support the amendment.

Question agreed to.
