The Minister makes a very sensible point and I do not dispute it. It is entirely appropriate to put these amendments down to probe and get these points of information on the record. If it is a "die in the ditch" principle to apply "reasonable" there in the Bill, then "reasonable" ought to be used elsewhere in the Bill. Why mention any time limit whatever when we can simply say "reasonable time limits"?
