However, that is vague. That does not tell me whether research was undertaken, who undertook it or what sort of research was undertaken by the Department. If it was undertaken by the Department, why can that research not be shared with us? We would then see some of the data and evidence we are looking for that informs this. We know the Attorney General’s legal advice will not be released and we understand that. However, with regard to the data and empirical evidence that was fed into the Attorney General’s office, what was it, will it be published, will it be shared, can we see it and can the Minister of State tell us about it? "Research undertaken" could mean from zero to a huge amount of research. If the Minister of State wants to respond to that, I have just one question after that.
