On that point, the code has great weight under Section 72 of the Act, but a code must be more than guidance in this context. We have a code that—I think the Minister would say inevitably—is not black and white. Can he say anything about how one reconciles the difficulties around that? If you follow the code you have not infringed the statute, but the code itself is—inevitably, as the Minister would probably say—not clear.
