MR STEFANIAK (9.50): In relation to my amendments 17 to 23, as a result of discussions with Mr Collaery and Mr Whalan and as a result of the whole question of penalties being referred to the legislation subcommittee of the Assembly and because my amendments here are not as substantial or important as some of the other ones I would like debated and discussed by this Assembly tonight, these can be considered by the committee when looking at the question of penalties overall. They need not be dealt with tonight. I will not be proceeding with these particular amendments tonight.
