The Minister has convinced us all with the way in which he has spoken to his amendments, and I for one have no problem in supporting them, but, as I said in an intervention, he has not convinced me yet in respect of his objection to amendment No. 15, so just to make my life and the life of the RDAs easier, I am going to ask the Minister to intervene on me when I ask him a simple question. Can he give me and the House an absolute assurance that any RDA that is currently, under its existing abilities under the 1998 legislation, using its money and time to co-ordinate or develop Olympic-related volunteering activities, Olympic-related jobs and contract activities, Olympic-related sporting events, Olympic cultural and artistic events and Olympic educational activities, and is giving advice to bodies about how, for instance, they set up training camps for visiting teams and is conducting, or plans to conduct, an audit of the facilities suitable for use during the Olympics, is acting within existing legislation?
